Which province has the highest percentage of Indigenous inhabitants?

Nunavut has the highest percentage of Indigenous inhabitants among the provinces and territories in Canada. Approximately 85% of its population identifies as Indigenous, primarily Inuit. This significant representation is largely due to Nunavut's unique status as a territory primarily established for the Inuit following the land claims agreement known as the Nunavut Agreement in 1993.

In contrast, the other options have much lower percentages of Indigenous populations. Ontario and British Columbia have large Indigenous communities, but they also have much larger non-Indigenous populations, which lowers the percentage of Indigenous people overall. Alberta, while home to several Indigenous groups, also sees a smaller proportion of Indigenous people compared to Nunavut. This context highlights why Nunavut stands out as the province or territory with the highest concentration of Indigenous inhabitants.
