- Title
INDIGENOUS POPULATION SIZE: CHANGES SINCE CONTACT.

- Abstract
One of Canada's leading demographers, the late Dr. Anatole Romaniuk, was concerned with the demographic evolution of Indigenous peoples over time. Cast within the framework of the Demographic Transition Theory, he believed that Canada's Indigenous population had entered a late stage of the demographic transition. My paper takes a fresh look at his most recent findings; examines the growth of Indigenous population beyond 2006; addresses the question of ethic mobility and fertility as drivers of this population growth; explains why the number of Indigenous peoples is such an elusive figure; and comments on the possible consequences of a more moderate rate of population increase.
