B. Aboriginal and/or Indigenous Peoples: In accordance with Statistics Canada and the Canada Employment Equity Act, "Aboriginal" is defined by the Government of Canada as First Nations (Status, Non-Status, Treaty), Métis, or Inuit, and was established by the federal government as an umbrella term for diverse Indigenous peoples in Canada. For the purposes of this question an Aboriginal person is a North American Indian or a member of a First Nation, a Métis, or Inuit. North American Indians or members of a First Nation include status, treaty or registered Indians, as well as non-status and non-registered Indians. The term ‘Aboriginal’ is used in legislation and in international definitions. Indigenous Peoples may self-identify as such or may be defined by their own relations to their communities.
