Population

                                                  As of 2018, the population of our First Nation was 2513 people.
                                                  This population only includes Status Indians. Status Indian refers
                                                  to someone whose parents are of First Nations ancestry and
                                                  whose birth has been registered with CIRNAC.

                                                  There may be other members of the First Nation who are not
                                                  registered or who do not qualify according to the strict CIRNAC
                                                  guidelines. As a result, the number of people who belong to the
                                                  First Nation or are related to members of the First Nation may
                                                  be higher than the registration list shows.


                  Many of our members live                               Our Population

                                                  Our population includes people from our own First Nation who
                                                  live on our territory, people from our First Nation who live in
                                                  various communities in Canada and abroad, and people from
                                                  other First Nations who live on our territory. These numbers
                                                  are constantly changing since people come and go from
                                                  our territory.
