What is the approximate population distribution of the Aboriginal people?

  1. 75% Metis, 20% Inuit, 5% First Nations

  2. 50% First Nations, 25% Metis, 25% Inuit

  3. 65% First Nations, 30% Metis, 4% Inuit

  4. 90% First Nations, 5% Metis, 5% Inuit

The correct answer is: 65% First Nations, 30% Metis, 4% Inuit

The approximate population distribution of the Aboriginal people is not as simple as one specific percentage for each group. While option A and B both suggest that the majority of Aboriginal people are either Metis or First Nations, it is important to note that Inuit peoples make up a significant portion of the population as well, making B incorrect. Option D also does not accurately reflect the population distribution as it greatly overrepresents the percentage of First Nations peoples. Option C is the most accurate as it takes into account the varying population sizes of each Aboriginal group and reflects a more balanced distribution. Additionally, option D incorrectly states that only 5% of the population is Metis, when in reality, it is estimated that up to 30% of the Aboriginal population identifies as Metis.
