There are five eligibility criteria one of which reads: "A person who can be proven to be a Yukon Indian of 25 percent or more Indian Blood; and resident in the Yukon between January 1, 1898 and January 1, 1941."

Furthermore, this document also outlines the formation of a credentials committee in each community, the appointment of a central registrar to prepare and maintain an ongoing eligibility list and a five member appeal board.
