Some people have questioned whether the pass system was enforced. This document is one piece of evidence amongst many that it was: it shows the NWMP Commissioner in 1896 directing Members to employ sections of the Criminal Code, despite there being zero legal basis to do so.

Apologies for the confusion about this fictionalized pass–the Nadjiwon family and members of The Chippewas of Nawash Unceded First Nation.
Unclear why this fictional pass is part of the exhibition, & have asked the gallery if they know passes were issued in the area.
(Fictional pass recipient) "George Nadjiwon is a composite figure based on Ray Nadjiwon and Frederick Loft."
"It was based on authentic passes but was reconstructed to look authentic."
The Curator, Virginia Eichhorn, has clarified that:
It is from their exhibition: Betwixt and Between: An Untold Tom Thomson Story. We were initially assured the pass was real by gallery staff.
UPDATE: This pass is not real and was not based on an existing pass. It was made by the Tom Thomson Gallery for a fictionalized recipient.
Spelling correction: should be "Nadjiwon". Written script appeared to be an "M". Apologies.
