Bennett, B., "Passes for Indians to Leave Reserves"
Documents & Presentations
Author/Creator
B. Bennett
Description
Cites many letters between government officials, NWMP officers and Canadian Army officers regarding passes and concludes these passes certainly existed. Passes came into existence after the 1885 resistance. Evidence of their use was only found in Treaty 4, 6 and 7 territories, and it cannot be certain they were used in every agency. Author states evidence indicates passes were used as late as the 1930s, but no sources are given.
