Can one intercept tribal per capita monies for purposes of satisfying an individual debt?
No, with five exceptions. The Ho-Chunk Nation Legislature has identified five potential claims against a tribal member’s per capita payments. See Claims Against Per Capita Ordinance, 2 HCC § 8.5a. One such claim involves a debt owed to a Ho-Chunk Nation elder. See Elder Protection Act of 2001, 4 HCC § 1.5i, 25a(6).
