Survey of aboriginal peoples living on reserve

Question
I have a student looking for information about aboriginal people living on reserve in Canada. According to the description, the Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) only surveys those living off-reserve. Is there a similar survey of those living on reserve?

Answer
We have received the following response from subject matter:

“The only source we are aware of at Statistics Canada for on reserve data would be the Census.

FNIGC – First Nation Information Governance Centre(an outside organization) does go on reserve and may have information.”
