Interviewer instructions
<span class="h2">Questionnaire section D: "Personal information"</span>
<br />Interview each member of the household using one page for each person. The order in which you must conduct the interviews is the same as you entered on question 6.c. Therefore, person No. 1 will correspond to the head of household, while person No. 2 will be the person you entered on the second row, and so forth.
<br />It is very important that you follow the order as entered on question 6.c for conducting the interviews in section D. This way, you will avoid leaving someone out without being recorded for the census.</p>

<p>This question has a go to and is a spontaneous-response question. If the person answers no, go to question 17 and do not ask question 16.a.</p>

<p><span class="em">[Questions 16 and 16a, indigenous people]</span>
<br /><span class="em">What is a community of indigenous peoples?</span>
<br />In the case of Chile, this refers to peoples descended from human communities that have been present in America since pre-Columbian times, where their own particular ethnic and cultural manifestations have been preserved, the land being the main foundation of their existence and culture.
<br />Bear in mind that the principle of each person's self-identification must be respected. This aspect is fundamental for determining whether a person belongs to a community of indigenous people, since, despite their shared characteristics, there is no single accepted definition that captures the diversity of the indigenous peoples.
<br />[Figure omitted, image of question 16 from the questionnaire]
<br />The principle of self-identification respects how an individual sees him or herself in this regard. Look at this example:
