Question:
At a presentation, Vivian O’Donnell mentioned boundary files for indigenous land claim boundary regions (Inuit Nunangat), and indicated that this was a standard geography for disseminating information to those communities.
Would it be possible to obtain those boundary files for dissemination through DLI (or on the census page itself)?
Are any data sets or tables available for dissemination at this level as well through DLI? In a report I found tables with this geography (e.g., http://www.statcan.gc.ca/pub/82-003-x/2015011/article/14223/tbl/tbl1-eng.htm), but am curious if there are more.
Answer:
I know that in the past the aboriginal population profiles have had data by Inuit region, Indian band area, & Metis settlement (e.g. http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/nhs-enm/2011/dp-pd/aprof/index.cfm?Lang=E).
I also see there's a boundary file on the open data portal for Aboriginal Lands of Canada, which includes Indian Reserves, Land Claim Settlement Lands, and Indian Lands: http://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/522b07b9-78e2-4819-b736-ad9208eb1067.
Not sure if these correspond exactly though; they come from different federal agencies.
