Native American ID Tags

[johnnycat]

Posted this in the Arizona section and got no response. So...Last week or so I was at the local library reading an article on Geronimo. It appears that at the time he was held at the San Carlos Indian reservation in 1877 in Arizona he was forced to wear a brass ID tag. I would only guess all the Indians were forced to wear one. Up to that point I had never heard of that. Does any member have any info on these tags or better yet pictures
