It aims to include those on the 1880 Cherokee roll, descendants born since, and others lawfully admitted, while excluding fraudulent or unauthorized entries. The process also covers freedmen enrollment and the broader challenge of land division and tribal rights.

He notes mistrust of the secretive process, opposition to limited allotment of land, and pride in the tribe’s farm efforts amid hardship and disease among ancestors. He argues compensation should reflect years of hard work.
