Indigenous Health Statistics

First Nations Information Governance Centre
FNIGC is responsible for a wide-range of work, from research and planning to surveys and training. But our core responsibility is the development and administration of national First Nations survey initiatives with our Regional Partners. These currently include: the First Nations Regional Health Survey (FNRHS) and the First Nations Regional Early Childhood, Education and Employment Survey (FNREEES).
FNIGC : Data Online
FNIGC Data Online is an online service from the First Nations Information Governance Centre (FNIGC), Canada’s premier source of information about First Nations people living on reserve and in northern communities across Canada. This application provides unprecedented access to FNIGC’s published data in the form of charts, tables and graphs that can be exported for use in presentations, reports and academic papers, including the First Nations Regional Health Survey (FNRHS, or RHS) and the First Nations Regional Early Childhood, Education and Employment Survey (FNREEES).
The Health Status of Canada's First Nations, Métis and Inuit Peoples
The intent of this report is to present a detailed account of the current health status of the First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples in Canada. Information to develop this report was gleaned from various federal/provincial/territorial sources, as identified in section four of the report. However, due to the varied ways that information is collected, or not collected in some instances, an accurate assessment of the health status of Aboriginal peoples remains beyond reach at the present time.
Reports and Publications – First Nations and Inuit Health
Indigenous Services Canada's aim is to inform and guide First Nations people and Inuit on issues that affect their health by making available reports and publications on a variety of health-related topics. We also offer guides, fact sheets, videos and information kits.
Aboriginal Peoples Fact Sheets (2016)
This product is a series of geographic profiles that include provinces and territories as well as the four Inuit regions of Inuit Nunangat. This series presents a summary of characteristics about the Aboriginal population living in these areas. Demographic data and information on living arrangements of children, education, employment, income, housing, health and language are highlighted.
First Nations, Inuit and Métis (CIHI)
CIHI is engaging First Nations, Inuit and Métis to support their health, wellness and data priorities. CIHI is on a learning journey, guided by what we have learned, and continue to learn, from Indigenous individuals, communities and organizations. Our work is grounded in cultural responsiveness and humility, respectful engagement, and Indigenous-driven processes and partnerships.
First Nations and Inuit Health and Wellness Indicators (Public Health Infobase)
The First Nations and Inuit Health and Wellness Indicators provide an overview of some key facets of the health of First Nations people and Inuit. These indicators are grouped into four domains - demographics, health status and outcomes, determinants of health, and health system performance. In addition to each indicator, some interpretive text is provided.

Statistics Canada

Health indicators, by Aboriginal identity

The larger collection of Health Indicator tables does not identify variables to customize by aboriginal identity. To see indicators with this variable we need to use the table: 13-10-0457-01 -- Health indicators, by Aboriginal identity, four-year period estimates.

This table will allow for customization using the multiple variables including Geography, Sex, Aboriginal identity, age group, Health indicators, the reference period. Click on the link to the table above and customize it as necessary.
