Supplementary notes

According to the source, indigenous population includes any person who is part of an indigenous household, where the head of the household, his or her spouse and/or one of the ascendants (mother or father, stepmother or stepfather, grandparents, great-grandparents, great-great-grandparents or parents-in-law) declared that she or he spoke an indigenous language. In addition, it includes people who said they spoke an indigenous language and who were not part of these households.
