The document states that living enrolled members will be paid first, with checks likely being mailed out in mid-July. The share of deceased members will be paid to their heirs, who will need to provide proof of heirship to receive their portion of the payment. The document advises Mrs. Hawton to work with the local Indian Agent to file her claims and offers further assistance if needed.
