Sec. 967a. Per capita payments to enrolled tribal members; use

From the funds on deposit in the Treasury of the United States to
the credit of the Omaha Tribe of Nebraska that were appropriated by the
Act of June 9, 1964, to pay a judgment obtained by the tribe in Indian
Claims Commission docket numbered 138, after deduction of attorney fees,
litigation expenses, and such sums as may be required to distribute
individual shares, the Secretary of the Interior shall make a per capita
distribution of no more than $270 to each person living on November 2,
1966, whose name appears on the roll of the tribe prepared pursuant to
section 961 of this title, and to each child living on November 2, 1966,
who was born after September 14, 1961, and who possesses aboriginal
Omaha blood of the degree of one-fourth or more except for any such
child who is enrolled with any other tribe of Indians. The balance of
such funds, and the interest thereon, may be advanced or expended for
any purpose that is authorized by the tribal governing body and approved
by the Secretary. The amount of $150,000 of said funds and any interest
thereon shall not be distributed, advanced or expended until said
$150,000 and any interest thereon becomes available for disbursement
pursuant to the terms of the final judgment dated April 14, 1964, by the
Indian Claims Commission in docket numbered 138.
