Agriculture Statistics for Aboriginal People

Question

A student is interested in knowing farm and farm operator statistics (latest, if possible) for Canada and looking specifically for number of farms owned by aboriginal people; total agricultural land owned by aboriginal farmers (individually or by bands both on- and off- reserve); and the type of crops (most often) grown by aboriginal farmers. Any feedback on from where this information may be available will be appreciated.

Answer

I have checked with our Agriculture Division (including their Census of Agriculture section) and they unfortunately don't have the data on Aboriginal farmers that your student is looking for.
