Border crossing : final report / Prepared by Joan Holmes & Associates for Joint Steering Committee, Department of Indian Affairs, and Assembly of First Nations.: R5-655/1990E-PDF
"The following report is based on the findings of research into the archival records of seven federal departments: Justice (RG13), National Revenue (RG16), Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RG18), External Affairs (RG25), Labour (RG27), Citizenship and Immigration (RG26), and Immigration (RG76). The research focused on collecting documentary evidence of border-crossing and transporting practices of Indians, and federal policies and legislation regarding Indian rights to cross and transport goods across the international boundary between Canada and the United States. Although the contract was designed to examine documentation from 1850 onward, the earliest relevant documents date from the 1880's. Although no particular region was the focus of the research, most of the documentation involves incidents in the western provinces or border communities in Ontario and Quebec, many of which raised issues of national scope"--Introduction, p. 1.
