Aboriginal identity population

Question

I am looking for Total population, Aboriginal identity population by Census subdivision (CSD) for Alberta.

Answer
I believe that the following 2006 Census table has the information you need (Total population, Aboriginal identity population by CSD for Alberta): Aboriginal identity population by age groups, median age and sex, 2006 counts, for Canada, provinces and territories, and census subdivisions (municipalities) - 20% sample data

To get to this table:
Go to http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census06/data/highlights/Aboriginal/index.cfm?Lang=E
Under Table 1 - Census subdivisions (CSDs) - Municipalities, click on: By province or territory - All CSDs with an Aboriginal identity population of 250-plus

You may also want to refer your user to the "Note to readers" found in the Daily release for this data (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/daily-quotidien/080115/dq080115a-eng.htm). It has some important information regarding how the Aboriginal identity population was counted.
