Field 555 (Cumulative Index/Finding Aids Note) does double duty as a note on indexes or finding aids, and bf:findingAidNote does the same thing. However the 555 has indicators that specify which function the field has in any given record. BIBFRAME lacks this, and the property name seems wrong when the content relates to indexes.
Perhaps a separate property for indexes is needed, and mapping could be done using the first indicator of the 555. Or a subproperty could be created to carry the information in the indicator.
