Native Americans were significantly affected by being denied U.S. citizenship, as this exclusion perpetuated their marginalization and limited their rights and access to resources. Without citizenship, they could not vote, own land in the same way as white Americans, or benefit from legal protections afforded to citizens. This denial reinforced systemic inequalities, hindered their ability to advocate for their rights, and contributed to the erosion of their cultures and communities through policies like forced assimilation. Overall, the lack of citizenship status hindered their sovereignty and autonomy as distinct nations within the U.S.
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.

Jim Crow laws primarily targeted African Americans in the Southern United States, but American Indians were also adversely affected. They faced systemic discrimination and exclusion from civil rights protections, resulting in limited access to education, employment, and public services. Furthermore, many Native Americans were denied citizenship until 1924, which compounded their marginalization under these laws. The legacy of Jim Crow contributed to ongoing socioeconomic challenges and disparities within American Indian communities.

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.

In the early years of the United States, four primary groups were largely excluded from citizenship: enslaved individuals of African descent, Native Americans, women, and free people of color. Enslaved individuals were denied rights and considered property, while Native Americans were often not recognized as citizens due to treaties and their status as sovereign nations. Women, regardless of race, were typically denied legal rights and the ability to vote. Free people of color faced significant legal and social barriers that restricted their rights and citizenship status.
