The article states that the central question that divided the Aroostook Band was "the question of who was a legitimate 'Indian' and who were 'non-Indians'." This implies that there was a dispute over who had the right to claim membership in the tribe, which is a question of identity and thus falls under the purview of kinship studies. The other three options may have been related to the broader issue of tribal membership, but they were not the central question that divided the Band as described in the article.
