    Among other things, this Canadian Act: 1) raises the preferential share due a "widow" upon the death of an intestate to the first $75,000 and authorizes the Governor in Council to fix another amount in the future; 2) authorizes the council of a band of Indians to determine that up to $3000, or another amount as set by the Governor in Council, of the share of a distribution due to a minor infant upon the age of majority "is necessary to be paid for the maintenance, advancement, or other benefit of the child;" and 3) authorizes the competent Minister to make a payment of some or all of the distribution due to an Indian child for the same purposes.
