About

This indicator is the percentage of students in grades 6 to 12 who identify as Indigenous.

Source

New Brunswick Health Council, Student Wellness and Education Survey, Grades 6-12

Calculations

This indicator is calculated by dividing the number of respondents who answered "yes" by the number of respondents who answered "yes or no" to the question: Do you identify with any of the following groups? Indigenous (First Nations, Mi’kmaq, Wolastoqewiyik, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Inuit, or Métis descent)

Notes

Due to a low school participation rate in some areas of the province for the 2025-2026 edition of this survey, survey results are not available for District scolaire francophone Nord-Ouest (school district), Madawaska and North-West Area (health zone), Kedgwick, Saint-Quentin and Grimmer (community), and Edmundston, Rivière-Verte, Lac Baker Area (community).

Users are advised to exercise caution if comparing data from the community of Grand Bay-Westfield, Westfield, Greenwich Area to other New Brunswick communities. The data for the community of Grand Bay-Westfield, Westfield, Greenwich Area is based on students in grades 6 to 8, while data from the other communities are based on students in grades 6 to 12. Survey results are assigned to communities based on the location of the school. The community of Grand Bay-Westfield, Westfield, Greenwich Area does not have any schools with grades 9 to 12.

In 2023, the NBHC undertook a review of the demographic questions in the Student Wellness and Education Survey. As such, starting in 2023-2024, the percentage of students who identify with this particular group may differ from previous cycles.
