Doubtful Per Capita Indian Payment for Rosebud Sioux
Congressman William Williamson says funds from The Rosebud 4 Per Cent Fund are too small for a pro rata per capita payment. Only $51,010.47 remains for 5,572 Rosebud Sioux, yielding about $9 per person if fully used, making distribution unlikely this winter or spring. A million dollars was distributed last year, leaving little available for further payments.
