| It is generally thought that the growth of the Canadian urban Aboriginal population is due to the movement of Registered Indians from reserves to cities. This paper is an examination of migration and residential mobility patterns, to and from reserves, for Registered Indians. Data from the 1996 Census are used to examine these patterns. Age and gender-specific migration and mobility patterns are examined and comparisons are made between Registered Indians and other Aboriginal groups as well as to the general Canadian population. Contrasts are also made between one and five year mobility patterns. A more detailed examination of migration flows from specific cities and reserves is also provided. The census data show that reserve communities were net gainers of migrants between 1991 and 1996, whereas census metropolitan areas (CMA) were net losers. This continues a pattern that has existed from the late 1960s. Registered Indian women were more migratory than their male counterparts, and those who moved tended to be in the young adult age group. In terms of overall mobility, Registered Indians living off-reserve were more mobile than both the Canadian population in general, and Registered Indians living in reserve communities.
