U.S. Code as of:
01/19/04
Section 911. Membership roll; preparation; eligibility for enrollment; applications for enrollment; protests; finality of determination
The Secretary of the Interior is authorized and directed to
prepare a roll of the persons whose names appear on the Quapaw
membership roll forwarded under date of January 4, 1890, and whose
membership in the tribe was then based upon Quapaw blood rather
than solely upon adoption, and the descendants of such persons, who
are living on July 17, 1959. Applications for enrollment must be
filed with the area director of the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
Muskogee, Oklahoma, on forms prescribed by the Secretary, within
six months after July 17, 1959. For a period of three months
thereafter, the Secretary shall permit the examination of the
applications by the Quapaw Tribal Business Committee or by persons
having a material interest therein for the purpose of lodging
protests against any application. The determination of the
Secretary regarding the eligibility of an applicant shall be final.
