Note: While most people of Canada view themselves as Canadian, information about their ancestral origins has been collected since the 1901 Census to reflect the changing composition of the Canadian population and is needed to ensure that everyone, regardless of his/her ethnic or cultural background, has equal opportunity to share fully in the economic, social, cultural and political life of Canada.

Question 15: Ethnic origin
This question provides information which can be used extensively by ethnic or cultural associations to study the size, location, characteristics and other aspects of their respective groups.
While most people of Canada view themselves as Canadian, information about their ancestral origins has been collected since the 1901 Census to reflect the changing composition of the Canadian population and is needed to ensure that everyone, regardless of his/her ethnic or cultural background, has equal opportunity to share fully in the economic, social, cultural and political life of Canada. Therefore, this question refers to the origins of this person's ancestors.
Ethnic or cultural origin refers to the ethnic "roots" or ancestral background of the population, and should not be confused with citizenship or nationality. Canadians have many ethnic or cultural origins - such as Inuit, North American Indian, Métis, Irish, Scottish, French, Ukrainian, Chinese, Japanese and East Indian (from India).
When determining cultural origin, report the specific ethnic group or which ancestors belonged rather than the language they spoke. For example, report Haitian rather than French, or Austrian rather than German.
For persons of South Asian origin, do not report Indian. Please specify Indian from India, Indian from Fiji, Indian from Guyana, etc., or indicate the group such as Punjabi, Tamil, Pakistani.

Questionnaire section D: "Personal information"
Interview each member of the household using one page for each person. The order in which you must conduct the interviews is the same as you entered on question 6.c. Therefore, person No. 1 will correspond to the head of household, while person No. 2 will be the person you entered on the second row, and so forth.
It is very important that you follow the order as entered on question 6.c for conducting the interviews in section D. This way, you will avoid leaving someone out without being recorded for the census.

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:

Question 6.- What do you consider yourself: indigenous, black (afro-Ecuadorian), mestizo, mulatto, white, or other?

[There is a picture of question 6 from this section of the enumeration form.]

Nationalities.- These are historical and political entities that make up the Ecuadorian State and that have a common identity, history, language, their own culture, that live in a specific territory, using their own institutions and traditional forms of social, economic, and political organization, and exercise of their own authority. The following nations are considered:

[p. 41]

Awa / Kichwa / Siona / Chachi / Shuar / Secoya / Epera / Achuar / Záparo / Tza'chila / Huaorani / Cofán.

Populations.- These are native groups made up of communities or centers, with cultural identities distinct from other sectors of the Ecuadorian society, governed by their own systems of social, economic, political, and legal organization. The following peoples exist: Caranqui / Quitu / Puruhá / Natabuela / Panzaleo / Cañari / Otavalo / Chivuelo / Saraguro / Cayambi / Salasaca / Manta / Huancavilca.

The new constitution establishes the recognition of the indigenous nations and peoples. For this reason, it is necessary to identify the indigenous group people belong to (articles 83, 84 political constitution of the state).

Read the categories in order and mark the box corresponding to the answer given by the informant.

Indigenous.- Is an individual who is native to the country.

Black (afro-Ecuadorian).- Is an individual with dark or black skin and/or who has some afro-Ecuadorian characteristic or origin.

Mestizo.- Is an individual born of a father and mother of different races.

Mulatto.- Is an individual born of a black man and a white woman or vice versa.

White.- Is a person who comes from the European or Caucasian race.

Other.- If the person doesn't fit into one of the previously mentioned groups.


If the informant responds Indigenous, box 1, immediately ask: What indigenous nation or indigenous people do you belong to?, and record it in the space provided.

Example:

Indigenous Nations: Awa / Kichwa / Siona / Chachi / Shuar / Secoya / Epera / Achuar / Záparo / Tza'chila / Huaorani / Cofán.

Indigenous People.- Caranqui / Quitu / Puruhá / Natabuela / Panzaleo / Cañari / Otavalo / Chivuelo / Saraguro / Cayambi / Salasaca / Manta / Huancavilca.

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.

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."

A. First block: personal characteristics (for all persons)

This part of the census form is designed to study the composition of the population according to the following characteristics: relationship to the head of household, sex, age, marital status, maternal orphanhood, ethnicity, and disabilities.

Questions 1-8 are presented to all enumerated persons, without exception, following the specific instructions presented below:


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.

3.3.4 Section VII: Persons in the census household

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.

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.

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.

16. Ethnic self-identification
A person is or is considered indigenous if he/she identifies himself/herself as such, for the fact of:

  • descending from native or ancestral populations
  • conserving the traditions or customs of the indigenous community to which he/she belongs


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?"

10. Indigenous Background
This question applies to all dwelling occupants and it aims to recognize how many of them are considered 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:

[] Descend from native or ancestral populations.
[] Preserve the traditions and customs from an indigenous population.

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. Mark all boxes for the appropriate races.

The concept of race, as used by the Census Bureau, reflects self-identification by individuals according to the race or races with which they identify.

The instruction before question 5, "For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races" reflects the federal government's treatment of Hispanic origin and race as separate and distinct concepts. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race.

People may choose to provide two or more races either by marking two or more race response boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of marking boxes and writing in responses.

If you mark the "American Indian or Alaska Native" box, also print the name of the tribe(s) in which the person is enrolled. If the person is not enrolled in a tribe, print the name of the person's enrolled or principal tribe(s) in the space provided (for example, Navajo nation, Blackfeet Tribe, Muscogee (Creek) nation, Mayan, Doyon, native Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government, and so on.)

The instruction before question 5, "For this survey, Hispanic origins are not races" reflects the federal government's treatment of Hispanic origin and race as separate and distinct concepts. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race.
People may choose to provide two or more races either by marking two or more race response boxes, by providing multiple write-in responses, or by some combination of marking boxes and writing in responses.
If you mark the "American Indian or Alaska Native" box, also print the name of the tribe(s) in which the person is enrolled. If the person is not enrolled in a tribe, print the name of the person's enrolled or principle tribe(s) in the space provided (for example, Navajo nation, Blackfeet Tribe, Muscogee (Creek) nation, Mayan, Doyon, native Village of Barrow Inupiat Traditional Government, and so on).
If you mark the "Other Asian" box, print the name of the specific Asian group(s) in the space provided (for example, Pakistani, Cambodian, Hmong, Laotian, Bangladeshi, and so on.)
If you mark the "Other Pacific Islander" box, print the name of the specific Pacific Islander group(s) in the space provided (for example, Tongan, Fijian, Marshallese, Palauan, Tahitian, Papua New Guinean, and so on.)
If you mark the "Some other race" box, print the race(s) or group(s) in the space provided.

Do you believe you have the following ancestry?

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:

  • African or black
  • Asian or yellow (amarilla)
  • White
  • Indigenous
  • Other

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.
