A discussion was held of the increase in degree of Citizen Potawatomi Indian
blood [illegible] by Council at the June 29, 1963 meeting for Walter Macarty and
Naomi Macarty Thompson. Since their proof consisted of two present day
statements the committee feels that substantial proof was not presented to
the Council by the applicants, and because additional research into old
records has been done at the request of the members the committee voted
unaninmously not to give the increase in degree but to present the additional
proof at the next Council for their vote.
There being no further business the motion to adjourn was made by Ennis Madole,
