The question should be presented by reading each option slowly and deliberately until reaching the question mark. When an answer is given, the oval is filled in and the next question is presented.
This question has a combination answer where there are ovals to fill in and boxes to write in.
In the case where the person claims to be from another original or indigenous tribe [pueblo] that has not been described in the previous options, option 6 is filled in and the name of the tribe [pueblo] is written in the boxes.
For example:
Tomasa claims to come from the Chipaya tribe [pueblo].
The form is filled out as follows:
[The instructions refer to a graphic of the census form with oval 6 filled in and the name of the indigenous tribe [pueblo] written in the boxes.]
If the person does not claim to come from any indigenous tribe [pueblo], the "None" oval is filled in and Chapter H is presented.

18. Is this person an Aboriginal person, that is, First Nations (North American Indian), Métis or Inuk (Inuit)?
Question 9 provides information on the diversity of Canada's population, and tells us about movements of people within Canada and from other countries to Canada.
Question 10 provides the citizenship status of Canada's population. The information is used to plan citizenship classes and programs.
Questions 11 and 12 provide information about immigrants and non-permanent residents in Canada, and the year people immigrated. This information is used to compare the situation of immigrants over time, to evaluate immigration and employment policies and programs, and to plan education, health, and other services.
Questions 13 to 16 are used to provide a profile of the linguistic diversity of Canada's population. This information is used to estimate the need for services in English and French, and to better understand the current status and the evolution of Canada's various language groups.
Question 17 provides information about ethnic and cultural diversity in Canada. This information is used by associations, agencies and researchers for activities such as health promotion, communications and marketing.
Questions 18, 20 and 21 provide information used by governments, including Aboriginal governments and organizations, to develop programs and services for Aboriginal people.
Question 19 tells us about the visible minority population in Canada. This information is required for programs under the "Employment Equity Act", which promote equal opportunity for everyone.
Question 22 helps measure religious affiliation and diversity. It is used to trace change in Canada's society. The information is also used to plan facilities and services within diverse communities.
Question 18 -- Aboriginal group
Answer this Question regardless of whether or not this person is an Aboriginal person of North America.
Aboriginal people are usually those with ancestors who resided in North America prior to European contact and who identify with one of the three Aboriginal groups listed on the Questionnaire - First Nations (North American Indian), Métis and Inuit.
Persons who consider themselves to be East Indian or Asian Indian, or who have ethnic roots on the subcontinent of India, should respond 'no' to this question.
Individuals who refer to themselves as Métis in the context of mixed ancestry, but who do not have North American Aboriginal ancestry --for example, those from Africa, the Caribbean and South America-- should respond 'no'.
21. Do you belong to any of the following first peoples or indigenous groups?
[] 2 Atacameño
[] 3 Aimara
[] 4 Colla
[] 5 Mapuche
[] 6 Quechua
[] 7 Rapa Nui

[] 9 None of the above
16. Do you belong to any of the following first peoples or indigenous groups?
This question has a go to and is a spontaneous-response question. If the person answers no, go to question 17 and do not ask question 16.a.
[Questions 16 and 16a, indigenous people]
What is a community of indigenous peoples?
In the case of Chile, this refers to peoples descended from human communities that have been present in America since pre-Columbian times, where their own particular ethnic and cultural manifestations have been preserved, the land being the main foundation of their existence and culture.
Bear in mind that the principle of each person's self-identification must be respected. This aspect is fundamental for determining whether a person belongs to a community of indigenous people, since, despite their shared characteristics, there is no single accepted definition that captures the diversity of the indigenous peoples.
[Figure omitted, image of question 16 from the questionnaire]
The principle of self-identification respects how an individual sees him or herself in this regard. Look at this example:
[Figure omitted, image of question 16 from the questionnaire. The image includes the option other (specify) fill with "African ancestry" as an answer]
6. Does ____ belong to any of the following cultures?
Question 6: Ethnicity
The objective of this question is identifying the principle ethnic groups of the country, that will permit knowing the ethnic composition of its population and the demographic and social situation of its members.
[To the right of the text is a form.]
You should ask the question to all persons, nationals and foreigners, especially when they are not present.
An "X" should be marked according to the ethnic group or culture that the person declares to belong to.
In the category "China" only persons who belong to the cultural tradition of Continental China, Taiwan and Hong Kong are included.
7. Does [name] consider himself/herself indigenous?
You must ask the question of all the habitual residents of the household, national and foreign, whether present or not, whether in indigenous territory or outside of it.
The response must be noted using the focus on "self-identification of ethnicity" which refers to the self- identification with the customs and traditions of the indigenous cultures.
Because of such you must respect and assign the response offered by the person. For no reason may you assign a response using as a reference the physical appearance of the person. If the person does not consider himself/herself indigenous, you must continue to question 10.
16. How does [the respondent] self-identify according to his/her culture and customs?
[] 2 Afro-Ecuadorian/ of African descent?
[] 3 Black?
[] 4 Mulatto?
[] 5 Montubio (coastal peasant)?
[] 6 Mestizo?
[] 7 White?
[] 8 Other?

Tips:
6. Ethnic group
Ask these questions for all of the persons, independent of their age or other situation:
Question 6: Ethnic group
In this question, we will only investigate two situations: indigenous and non-indigenous.
To consider a person as indigenous or as non-indigenous, the enumerator should take as a benchmark the social status of the person in the place where he or she is enumerating. In small populations, there is some local awareness that classifies the person as indigenous or non-indigenous.
Black and Chinese will be classify in the non-indigenous group.
When dealing with servants you should ask the head of family or the woman of the house if his/her servants are indigenous. When there is a doubt for noting the ethnic group you will recur, as an ultimate means, which will be to ask the person himself/herself if he/she is indigenous or not indigenous, noting the answer that the enumerated person gives to said question.
As an additional criteria for verifying the information regarding the ethnic group, it is convenient to examine the answers to question 7 and 9 of this same form which will permit the enumerator, up to a certain point, corroborate if there is consistency with the data for ethnic group, dialect or language, use of indigenous outfit and footwear.
7. Ethnic group
[] 1 Yes
[] 2 No
[] 9 Unknown
Question 7: ethnic group
1. How to ask the question:
To determine whether a person is indigenous, record the person's own social estimation of himself or herself in the space in which he or she is enumerated. If it is for a servant, ask the informant whether the servant is indigenous. If there is any doubt, or if it is not for a servant, then your last resource is to ask the person if he or she is indigenous and then write the answer given by the enumerated person.
2. How to record the answer:
If the person is indigenous mark an "X" in box 1 next to the word "yes." Otherwise, mark an "X" in box 2 next to the word "no." If the person's indigenous status cannot be established, mark an "X" in box 9 next to the word "unknown."
3. Example:
[This box contains question 7 of the section VI, "people in the census household."]
For all individuals
[Questions 1 - 8 were asked for all persons]
7. Ethnic group
Question 7: ethnic group
1. How to formulate the question
The enumerator should take into account, as a benchmark, the social assessment of the person in the place in which the enumeration is conducted to determine if the enumerated person is indigenous or not.
When enumerating a servant, the informant will be asked if the servant is indigenous or not. If there is doubt or the enumerated person is not a servant, the enumerator will fall back on the last option that will be to ask the person if he or she is ladino or indigenous. The answer given by the person is recorded.
2. How to record the data
If the person is indigenous, number "1" is circled, on the other hand, the number "2" is circled. If the informant cannot establish the ethnic group of the person, the category "9. unknown" is circled.
3. Example:
[These instructions refer to a graphic of question 7 of the census form]
5. Ethnic group
The first seven questions sets in this section refer to family relationship, age, sex, current marital status, ethnic group, death of mother and disability.
Questions 8-12 refer to the person's migration and ethnic characteristics. Only questions 11 and 12 are for persons aged three and older.
Questions 13-15 refer to literacy, level of education and attendance at school and are intended for persons aged seven and older.
The four following questions (16-19) refer to the person's type of economic activity, principal employment, branch of activity, and occupational category. They are also intended for persons aged seven and older.
The last five questions (20-24) cover fertility, and are intended only for females aged 12 and older.
The housing form has enough space to record a maximum of ten person, and so the section is repeated an equal number of times. The information about each person who spends the night in the homeless shelter should be written in the same order as they were listed in section V, "list of persons."
If the homeless shelter has more than ten persons, use an additional form.
Section VII is designed to allow you to record the complete information about one person. Write the person's order number in the grid space according to the list in section V. Spell out completely the first names and complete surnames of each person.
5. Ethnic group
When determining whether or not a person is indigenous it is important to respect the right of an individual to identify his/her own ethnic group. This must be determined by asking the person directly, and not simply through what you observe.
[A graphic of box 5 "ethnic group," is reproduced on the right-hand side of the page.]
For children or those who are not able to self-identify, ask the parents or respondent about the person's ethnic identity.
Ask, "Are you indigenous?" and then mark an X in the appropriate circle.
For all persons
[Questions 1 through 9 are for all persons]
8. Are you indigenous?
This section records individual information for a maximum of ten people - those listed in section 6, "total number of persons in the household." If there are more than ten people in the census household use as many additional forms as necessary.
[A graphic of the "individual characteristics", located at the top of section 7 of the census form, is included here.]
Person number: In the grid spaces on the upper left side of the form, write the number that corresponds to the person according to the order from the list of persons in section VI. The head of household is number 1.
Name: In the appropriate space, write the name of each of the persons who make up the household according to the order in which they appear on the list in question 3 of section VI. Begin with the head of household and continue writing according to the order established.
Information supplied by respondent: This is when the person interviewed gives information about his/her own self. Fill in the appropriate oval according to the information you receive.
Questions 1-11 should be asked for all permanent residents of the household in the dwelling.
8. Ethnic group
Ask, "Is the person indigenous?"
[A graphic of question 8, from section 7 of the census form, is included here.]
It is important to respect the right of the person to identify his/her own ethnic group when determining if the person is indigenous. The answer to this question should be obtained through direct questioning and not simply through observation.
20. Ethnic identity
This person is Nahuatl, Maya, Zapotec, Mixtec, or other indigenous group?
Circle only one answer.
2 No
Now I am going to ask you about (name): ________
Copy the name of the person from section II
For persons age 3 or older
[Questions 12-20 were asked of persons age 3 or older]
16. Ethnic self-identification
Does [the respondent] consider him/her self to be indigenous according to his/her culture?
[] 1 Yes
[] 3 No
In this section the information of the people who inhabit the dwelling, like the sex, age, level of studies, income, among others, is obtained.
Before requesting the information for each person, copy all the names in the spaces designated for them, and for each person start with the phrase: "Now I'm going to ask about (mention the name of the person you previously noted)", so that the informer knows about whom you will be asking the information.
For people age 3 or older.
[Questions 12-20 are for persons age 3 or older]
16. Ethnic self-identification
A person is or is considered indigenous if he/she identifies himself/herself as such, for the fact of:
When asking the question, substitute her or him, according to how it corresponds; for example, about Sara you ask: "In agreement with Sara's culture, does she consider herself indigenous?" About Mateo the question would be: "In agreement with Mateo's culture, does he consider himself indigenous?"
[Figures are omitted]
Always ask this question even when you consider that there are not indigenous people in your work area. If the answer is "yes", circle code 1; however, if they say: "maybe my father is indigenous, but not my mother", "I would say a little" or something similar, circle option 2 "yes, in part". When the informant does not know the answer about the other occupants, circle option 4 "does not know". When the informant expresses doubts or does not understand the question, mention that a person is indigenous or is recognized as indigenous by these facts:
Remember that indigenous identity is not always related to language; a person can speak some indigenous language and not be considered as indigenous; in the opposite direction, a person can be considered indigenous without speaking a native language. Therefore, if the person mentions he/she cannot speak an indigenous language, ask whether he/she consider himself/herself as indigenous.
6. To which indigenous group do you belong?
[] 02 Ngoba
[] 03 Bugle

Question No. 8: To which indigenous group de you belong?
[For persons who stated they are Indigenous in question 5.]
This question is asked with the purpose of quantifying the indigenous population in the national geography and the indigenous group to which it belongs.
An indigenous is considered to be a person who declares to belong to an aboriginal group independent of the locality where she is enumerated.
Mark with an "X" the indigenous group to which the respondent states she belongs to.
[To the left of the text there are three pictures.]
Remember to ask this question if in the list of occupants (Chapter IV) the name of a person has been marked with circle 1 in question 5. Otherwise, if the person has declared that no indigenous person lives there, automatically mark circle 10 "None."
For children under 5 years old, check the option based on the ethnicity of the parents.
In the option Other (circle 09), you must include any indigenous group that is not covered by the above options and that belongs to another country. You must specify the name of the group to which the respondent belongs to. Example: Mapuche (Chile), Guajiro (Venezuela), Pisamira (Colombia), Zapoteco (Mexico), among others.
[p. 145]
Example:
When enumerating a dwelling, the head responds that both he and his companion are indigenous. To the question about the group they belong to, both of them respond to be Emberá. A child of 4 years who lives with them will be classified as follows:

For everyone:
[Questions 6-7 are asked of everyone.]
6. Do you think you have any of the following ancestry?
6.1 African or black? (PerER01_1)
6.2 Asian or yellow (amarilla)? (PerER01_2)
6.3 White? (PerER01_3)
6.4 Indigenous? (PerER01_4)
6.5 Other? (PerER01_5)
(If the informant responded Yes to one ancestry only, skip to q. 8)
Ancestry is understood as the ethnic-racial origin that corresponds to a social construction based on the phonotypical differences of people.
You should formulate the question just as it is written and read each option marking "yes" or "no" according to the informant's response.
The criterion for the response is the auto-identification of the people with one or more of the following options:
If the informant declares the option "other" you must specify the corresponding ancestry.
The nationality of the ancestors is not considered ancestry. So that you should not register Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Brazilian, etc.
