They were not given citizenship because they belonged to a tribe.

They were automatically excluded along with women. Only white land holding men over 21 were given rights. All African Americans were slaves and Native Americans were NEVER considered for citizenship.
The Naturalization Law of 1790 provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. Major changes to the definition of citizenship were ratified in the nineteenth century following the American Civil War. The Fourteenth Amendment in 1868 granted citizenship to people born within the United States and subject to its jurisdiction regardless of their parents' race, citizenship, or place of birth, but it excluded Native American Indians living on reservations.
No, no groups of Native Americans have special representation in Congress. However, the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 provided citizenship for Native Americans who were not covered by the Fourteenth Amendment (for instance, because they lived on reservations). As such, they are represented by whomever their local representative and senator are.You might also be interested in the article linked below on Native American members of Congress.
