Community Size Distribution
First Nations traditionally have small populations. Alberta is a case in point: 30 of the 39 non
host First Nations have populations of less than 3,000, with 16 of those having less than 1,000
residents. The 30 communities were allotted 485 grants for community projects, or 65.9% of
total non-host grants. Disbursements amounted to $40,462,055, or 58.6% of non-host
amounts. Table 63 shows FNDF disbursements as a function of First Nation community size.
