Περίληψη: Objectives: The CLSA is a national data platform for aging research that used epidemiology-based sampling methods and explicitly excluded people living on First Nations Reserves and other provincial First Nations settlements as possible CLSA participants. As such, the CLSA research approach did not use Indigenous community engagement. Nevertheless, the CLSA sample includes a sizeable subsample of participants who self-identified as First Nations, Métis, or Inuit. This project seeks to describe the self-identified Indigenous subsample of the CLSA from the baseline data collection and interpret that description with the aid of an Elder Advisory Circle.
Methods: We conducted a descriptive analysis of the self-identified Indigenous subsample of the CLSA from the baseline data collection. The analysis was presented to an Elder Advisory Circle for consultation.
Results: The lack of community-engaged approaches to Indigenous research and sampling approaches appears to have resulted in a sociodemographic profile of older Indigenous Peoples that does not match the lived experience of the Elder Advisory Circle and contrasts with other data available on Indigenous Peoples in Canada. We feel the existing CLSA data does not reflect the sociodemographic profile of older Indigenous Peoples.
Conclusion: We use this community consultation process to provide recommendations for the appropriate use of the Indigenous-identified data in the CLSA, and we conclude by recommending great caution when using the data from the Indigenous subsample in the CLSA data.

Local Abstract: [Publisher, French] RéSUMé: OBJECTIFS: L’Étude longitudinale canadienne sur le vieillissement (ÉLCV) est une plateforme nationale de données de recherche sur le vieillissement qui utilise des techniques d’échantillonnage fondées sur l’épidémiologie et qui exclut explicitement comme participants possibles les personnes vivant dans les réserves des Premières Nations et dans d’autres peuplements provinciaux de Premières Nations. De ce fait, l’approche de recherche de l’ÉLCV ne fait pas appel à la participation des communautés autochtones. Néanmoins, l’échantillon de l’ÉLCV inclut un sous-ensemble appréciable de participants qui s’identifient comme étant membres des Premières Nations, Métis ou Inuits. Notre projet visait à décrire ce sous-ensemble basé sur la collecte des données de référence et à interpréter cette description avec l’aide d’un cercle consultatif d’aînés. MéTHODES: Nous avons effectué une analyse descriptive du sous-ensemble de personnes s’identifiant comme étant autochtones dans l’ÉLCV basé sur la collecte des données de référence. Nous avons ensuite présenté notre analyse à un cercle consultatif d’aînés. RéSULTATS: L’absence d’approches de recherche axées sur les communautés autochtones et d’approches d’échantillonnage semble avoir donné un profil sociodémographique des personnes âgées autochtones qui ne correspond pas au vécu du cercle consultatif d’aînés et qui tranche avec les autres données disponibles sur les personnes autochtones au Canada. Nous jugeons que les données existantes de l’ÉLCV ne reflètent pas le profil sociodémographique des personnes âgées autochtones. CONCLUSION: Nous avons utilisé ce processus de consultation des communautés pour formuler des recommandations sur l’usage approprié des données sur l’identité autochtone dans l’ÉLCV; en conclusion, nous recommandons d’utiliser avec une extrême prudence les données du sous-ensemble autochtone des données de l’ÉLCV.
