Section 677n. Disposal by mixed-blood members of their individual interests in tribal assets; requisites and conditions

      Any member of the mixed-blood group may dispose of his interest
    in the tribal assets prior to termination of Federal supervision,
    subject to the approval of the Secretary. In the event a member of
    the mixed-blood group determines to dispose of his interest in any
    of said real property at any time within ten years from August 27,
    1954, he shall first offer it to the members of the tribe, and no
    sale of any interest, prior to termination of Federal supervision,
    shall be authorized without such offer to said members of the tribe
    in such form as may be approved by the Secretary. After termination
    of Federal supervision the requirement of such offer, in form to be
    approved by the Secretary, shall be a covenant to run with the land
    for said ten-year period, and shall be expressly provided in any
    patent or deed issued prior to the expiration of said period.
