Abstract

The 1991 Aboriginal People's Survey (APS) was developed through extensive consultation 
with Aboriginal peoples in Canada, associations of and for Aboriginal peoples, and at 
all levels of government in Canada. The APS was first conducted in 1991 following the 
1991 Census of Population. This micro data contains selected samples of records from 
the 1991 APS ie. Aboriginal adult population (15 years and over) living in off-reserve areas.

The Aboriginal Peoples Survey (APS) provides data on the social and
economic conditions of Aboriginal people in Canada. Its specific purpose
was to identify the needs of Aboriginal people focusing on issues such
as health, language, employment, income, schooling, housing, and
mobility. The survey was designed and implemented in partnership with
national Aboriginal organizations.
