Brampton is home to 4,545 self-identified residents of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit ancestry based on the 2021 census. Not all Indigenous individuals and families identify themselves during census data collection, so it is important to note that this number may not represent all Indigenous members of the Brampton community. Each nation has unique histories, cultures, customs, and languages connected with the land, water, and other nations. The City of Brampton is committed to working towards answering the
Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action and adopting the framework of the
United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples to develop and strengthen its relationships with local communities and the nations whose traditional territory the City is located on.
