%X English For the first time data from the 1986 and 1996 censuses have been organizedin an historical manner with a consistent set of definitions and geographies. Guimond (1999) hasestablished that the Aboriginal population, both in terms of origin and identity, has grown rapidlyand that an important component of that growth has come from personal changes in the ethnicaffiliation. This finding begs the question: what are the characteristics of the people changing theiraffiliation? Using census data, this study will focus on the highest level of schooling variable forthe population reporting Aboriginal origins and Aboriginal identity and show how this characteristicis changing in a selected age cohort over the ten year period 1986-96. French C¡¯est la premi¨¦re fois que les donn¨¦es des recensements de 1986 et de 1996 ont¨¦t¨¦ classes d¡¯une mani¨¨re historique avec un ensemble conforme de definitionset d¡¯¨¦l¨¦ments g¨¦ographiques. Guimond (1999) a ¨¦tabli que la populationauthochtone, autant en termes d¡¯origine que d¡¯identit¨¦, avait augment¨¦rapidemont et qu¡¯une et qu¡¯ne composante importante de cette croissance venaitde changements personnels dans l¡¯affiliatiion ethnique. Cette d¨¦couverte soul¨¨vela question, ¨¤ savoir quelles sont les caract¨¦ristiques d¡¯un people qui changed¡¯affiliation ? En se servant des donn¨¦s des recensements, cette etude examine letaux de scolarit¨¦ le plus ¨¦lev¨¦ variable des populations indiquant des origins ouune identit¨¦ autochtones et d¨¦montre de quelle mani¨¨re cette caract¨¦ristiquechange dans une cohorte d¡¯age sur une p¨¦riode de dix ans, soit de 1986 ¨¤ 1996.
