Statistics Canada and Manitoba: Figures from the survey, released on Wednesday, show that 16.7 per cent of Manitoba's population identified as aboriginal four times the Canadian average of 4.3 per cent when the survey was done in 2011, according to CBC.

Respondents who identified themselves as registered First Nations were in the largest group, followed by M tis. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
