The Indigenous peoples of Prince Edward Island are the inhabitants of the Canadian maritime province of Prince Edward Island whose descendants lived there before the arrival of European settlers. The Canadian government considers Indigenous peoples to be members of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit. Métis are mixed-race descendants of First Nations people and Europeans, while the Inuit are indigenous residents of the northernmost regions of North America. In the 2011 Canadian census, 2,230 residents of Prince Edward Island reported an aboriginal identity, the smallest population of any of the country's thirteen provinces or territories. The primary identity was the Mi'kmaq, a First Nations people who accounted for about 60 percent of the island's indigenous population. Mi'kmaq moccasins, c. 1830-40.
