Richard Henry Pratt discusses a request from Richard Davis to establish a system of permanent records of marriages, births, and deaths of Native Americans who hold allotted lands as well as the adoption of non-Native surnames for them in order to avoid confusion in matters relating to their lands.
Note that Davis' recommendations do not relate to students at the school, but to the larger Native American population.
