title: [Evolution and demographic characteristics of native groups in Canada, 1986-2011].
abstract: Population estimates and projections are presented and analyzed for the period 1986-2011 for the Native American population living in Canada.  The analysis considers census underenumeration and the impact of recent legislation that increased the number of residents with Native American status by approximately 25 percent.  It is concluded that "native groups will continue to grow at a higher rate than the Canadian population as a whole. Comparing the two populations shows a convergence for some demographic characteristics; however, the aging of the native population started much later." (SUMMARY IN ENG AND SPA)
