What percentage of the Aboriginal population are Inuit?

  1. 65%

  2. 30%

  3. 4%

  4. 50%

The correct answer is: 4%

This may seem like a difficult question, but with a bit of context you can choose the correct answer. To start, Aboriginal population in Canada is classified as First Nations, Inuit, and Metis. While the total population of Aboriginal peoples in Canada is approximately 1.7 million, only 4% of them are Inuit. This means that out of the three choices provided, 4% is the only possible percentage for the Inuit population. While the other options may seem like plausible choices, it's important to remember that they are not representative of the Inuit population. For example, 65% may seem like a high percentage, but it's actually closer to the percentage of First Nations people in Canada. Similarly, 30% is more in line with the percentage of Métis people in Canada. Therefore, it's important to draw from your knowledge and understanding of Aboriginal populations in order to select the correct answer of 4%.
