The line graph shows that, overall, the percentage of self-reported Indigenous and non- Indigenous people in Canada with at least a high school diploma increased between 2001 and 2021. However, the increase among non- Indigenous people has always outpaced that of Indigenous people in this respect. More specifically, the percentage of people with at least a high school diploma increased as follows for each group:
| Group of People | Proportion of People Having at Least a High School Accreditation in 2001 | Proportion of People Having at Least a High School Accreditation in 2021 |
| Inuit | 51.8% | 56.0% |

| Non-Status First Nations People | 65.9% | 82.7% |
| Métis People | 66.7% | 85.5% |
