Is not this entire discussion erroneous because the term citizen is not defined as either statutory citizenship or constitutional citizenship?
Yes. The U.S. Constitution excludes "Indians not taxed" and thus the 1924 Act granting citizenship to "Indians" recognizes that it, as a mere statute, does not affect the constitutional status of "Indians" which therefore remains the same as before the Act. Rodolfo Rivera Munoz, "Indian" Lawyer.

What Act of 1924 gave American Indians the right of US citizenship?
With Congress' passage of the Indian Citizenship Act, the government of the United States confers citizenship on all Native Americans born within the territorial limits of the country. Before the Civil War, citizenship was often limited to Native Americans of one-half or less Indian blood. In the Reconstruction period, progressive Republicans in Congress sought to accelerate the granting of citizenship to friendly tribes, though state support for these measures was often limited. In 1888, most Native American women married to U.S. citizens were conferred with citizenship, and in 1919 Native American veterans of World War I were offered citizenship. In 1924, the Indian Citizenship Act, an all-inclusive act, was passed by Congress. The privileges of citizenship, however, were largely governed by state law, and the right to vote was often denied to Native Americans in the early 20th century.

Approved, June 2, 1924. June 2, 1924. [H. R. 6355.] [Public, No. 175.] SIXTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS. Sess. I. CHS. 233. 1924. See House Report No. 222, Certificates of Citizenship to Indians, 68th Congress, 1st Session, Feb. 22, 1924. Note: This statute has been codified in the United States Code at Title 8, Sec. 1401(b).Therefore American Indians were no longer imprisoned on reservations and could travel as any other American. This is not to say they did as there was a considerable amount of racial prejudice preventing the American Indian from going to and staying in certain places.
