Index: Newfoundland and Labrador Census Extracts [Native – First Peoples – Metis]
Main Index: Native/First Peoples/Metis Surnames | Census Extracts
Newfoundland and Labrador only joined the Canadian Confederation in 1949. Prior to that the area was a British colony until 1907, and then it became the Dominion of Newfoundland.
These are the links I’ve collected so far for census records that registered First Nations, Metis or mixed-heritage people who lived in that area between 1852 and 1921. Please note that the records were created by settlers so they followed settler naming practices and applied new location names.
I wish to acknowledge (as a settler) that these were traditional territories
that were already inhabited and named by indigenous peoples.
