The American Indian Citizenship Act, passed in 1924, granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans born in the United States. Prior to this act, many Native Americans were not considered U.S. citizens and were therefore denied the rights that came with citizenship, including the right to vote. The legislation aimed to recognize the contributions of Native Americans to the country and rectify their exclusion from citizenship. However, despite this legal recognition, many states found ways to keep Native Americans from voting for years afterward.
