Section 677k. Adjustment of debts in making per capita payments to mixed-blood members; execution of mortgages on property
Fifty per centum of all per capita payments to any individual
mixed-blood member made pursuant to any division or distribution
hereunder shall have deducted therefrom any sum or sums of money
owed by such member to the tribe, whether due or to become due,
unless in the opinion of the Secretary said debts are not
adequately secured in which event the entire per capita payment
shall be subject to such offset. Any other division, partition or
distribution of property to any individual mixed-blood member made
pursuant to this subchapter shall be subject to a mortgage to be
made in favor of the tribe securing the payment of all sums of
money owed by him to the tribe on the date of such division,
partition or distribution to such individual mixed-blood member.
The Secretary shall require the execution of any mortgage required
under this section as a condition to any such division, partition
or distribution.
