Sec. 2 | Adult unenrolled Indians. |
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That all Crow Indians born to parent or parents who were or are competent members of the Crow Tribe, shall automatically become competent members of the Crow Tribe on attaining majority (except any such Indian who is declared incompetent by a court of competent jurisdiction or who is incompetent under the laws of the State within which he resides), and shall be entitled to all rights and privileges accruing to members of the tribe classified as competent, including all rights and privileges accorded to such competent members by any other Act.
The Act of March 3, 1931 (46 Stat. 1495), is hereby amended to read as follows: “The Secretary of the Interior is hereby authorized, under such rules and regulations as he may prescribe, to classify adult unenrolled Crow Indians and add their names to the competent or incompetent rolls established pursuant to the Act of June 4, 1920 (41 Stat. 751), and to reclassify those persons whose names now or hereafter appear on said rolls from incompetent to competent.”
Approved, September 8, 1949.
