Eskimo identification and disc numbers : a brief history / by A. Barry Roberts.: R5-303/1975E-PDF

"So there came, with the spread of southern trade and administration across the north during and after the First World War, the first serious calls for some system of identification that would enable the government administrator to distinguish each Eskimo from every other and facilitate the taking of censuses, the keeping of records and the registration of vital statistics."--p. 2.
