1) What dataset will you use for your final report?
The dataset i will use in my final report is a data set from Statistics Canada. This data set shows the different Indigenous groups in Canada and their level of education that they received.
2) Describe your dataset?
The data set includes Metis people, Inuit people, and other First Nations group and whether or not they have a treaty Indian Status. It lists their level of education at all levels. This data explains the amount of Indigenous people from a particular First Nations group and wether or not they received high school education, or post-secondary education.
3) Is there anything that you don't understand?
The only column I don't understand in this data is the column that says "Non-Aboriginal Identity". I'm not sure if that is talking about the general population of Canada who do not identify as Aboriginal. I can figure this out more by doing more research.
4) What are some questions you hope to answer with your data?
-What is the First Nations group that received the highest amount of education (post-secondary)?
-What is the First Nations group that received the lowest amount of education? (High-school drop outs)
-What is the percentage of Aboriginal people who graduated high school compared to the percentage of rest of the population in Canada who not identify as Aboriginal.

Nice topic! Although I am not a Canadian but I am interested in First Nations issues. Love your choice of education. Looking forward to see your graph. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great choice of topic because one of the issues that need attention is the education of aboriginal people. I think one thing that you can improve is that the question you ask could be deeper but you did a good job.
ReplyDeleteHi Nasreen, very interesting topic! I find this topic interesting because our Indigenous communities are greatly oppressed and I believe your final chart will showcase the level of oppression they face when it comes to not getting the same level of education as non-Indigenous peoples. Another question I believe might be really interesting to look at is why specific or any Indigenous communities have a certain level of education (although this may be a personal research question seeing as though the data only shows numbers).
