Payments owed to individual Indians or tribes under treaties must, at the President's discretion, be handed out in person by superintendents of Indian affairs. Local agents and interpreters must witness these payments. The Secretary of the Interior sets the rules for how this is done.

At the President's discretion, all money owed to fulfill treaty promises to individual Indians or tribes — whether annuities or other payments — must be paid in person, by the superintendents of Indian affairs, in areas where superintendencies exist. Payments go to all Indians or tribes within that superintendent's area, and must happen in the presence of the local agents and interpreters, who must witness the payment. The Secretary of the Interior sets the regulations governing this process.
