25 U.S.C. § 132 — Mode of distribution of goods

submitted date unrecorded by Congress to r/title-25-INDIANS · 83 words · no verdicts yet

in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

When goods are delivered to a tribe's chiefs, the agent or superintendent must hand them over in bulk. This should happen in original packaging when possible, in front of the tribe's headmen if practical. The chiefs then decide how to divide the goods among the tribe, while the agent or superintendent watches.

Whenever goods and merchandise are delivered to a tribe's chiefs, for that tribe, the agent or superintendent in charge of the tribe must turn the goods over to the chiefs in bulk. As much as practical, this should be done in the original packaging. It should also happen in front of the tribe's headmen, if that's practical. From there, the chiefs distribute the goods to the tribe in whatever way the chiefs think is best. The agent or superintendent must be present while the chiefs distribute the goods.
