Mrs. Alma Chapman inquired about her eligibility on two Indian rolls at the same time.

The Bureau also addressed concerns about tribal council representation and potential resolution regarding eligibility for tribal claims. Mrs. Chapman requested clarification from Congressman Page Belcher on the matter.
