§ 101. The clerk. 1. The clerk of the tribe shall receive all moneys
belonging to such tribe, including moneys due from the state and due on
any tribal lands leased by the tribe for its benefit. He shall pay out
moneys only upon the warrant of a majority of the chiefs of the tribe,
which warrant the clerk shall retain as a voucher. At least five days

the moneys received and expended by him with the vouchers for such
expenditures. He shall be entitled to receive for his services an amount
to be fixed by the majority of the chiefs of the tribe, payable out of
moneys disbursed by him.

2. The clerk, after setting aside sufficient funds for disbursements
required to be made by law shall pay to individual members or heads of
families of the tribe the per capita shares of tribal members in such
annuity money unless, at a general meeting of the qualified voters of
such tribe duly called and held during such year and prior to the
distribution of such money, a majority of the qualified voters shall
approve the expenditure of all or part of such moneys for one or more
tribal projects, in which event the amount or amounts so approved for
payment on account of such project or projects shall be paid in
accordance with such vote and any balance of such annuity money
remaining shall be added to the tribal funds.
