This section is one undivided rule. Anyone who wants to trade with Indians on any Indian reservation must first prove to the satisfaction of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs that they are a proper person to do that trading. Once they've shown that, they're allowed to trade — but only under whatever rules and regulations the Commissioner of Indian Affairs sets to protect the Indians involved.
