Mortality of Metis and Registered Indian Adults in Canada

Statistics Canada has posted a study describing mortality patterns among Métis and Registered Indian adults, compared with the non-Aboriginal population. The study is a follow-up to the 1991-2001 Canadian census, and concludes that Métis adults had higher mortality rates compared with the non-Aboriginal members of the cohort, but lower rates than did Registered Indians.
