What the directory contains

Counts use one canonical business as one business. Multiple sources, locations, and categories never inflate the total.

Scope & responsible use

These statistics describe businesses currently represented in this directory. They are not automatically equivalent to a census of every Indigenous business in Canada.

Canonical records are deduplicated conservatively, identity is never inferred, and field coverage is published so readers can understand limitations.
