Native Americans were not considered U.S. citizens primarily due to the legal and social frameworks that positioned them as members of sovereign nations rather than as individuals within the United States. The U.S. Constitution and subsequent laws often excluded them from citizenship, reflecting a belief in their distinct identity and sovereignty. It wasn't until 1924, with the Indian Citizenship Act, that many Native Americans were granted U.S. citizenship, although various states found ways to keep them from voting for years thereafter.

Why were women and Native Americans were not given rights in the Constitution?
Women were not usually considered legally competent and if they were married they were the "property" of their husbands. Native Americans were not US citizens and later became wards of the Federal government when they were forced onto reservations.
Were Native Americans colonized or did they immigrate to the US?
If I have to choose one of those options, I would choose that the Native Americans were colonized by the United States. However, I would argue that while the US illegally confiscated the territory that Native Americans occupied, the Native Americans were rarely, if ever, colonized. The US did not want them as citizens and actively fought several wars and committed atrocities to force them off of land that the US government decided would be in its interest to control directly. Native Americans only became "integrated" into the US via the Reservation System, whereby Native Americans received US citizenship and lived on Reservations, but this is fundamentally different than colonization in Latin America, Africa, or Asia where the native populations were actively involved in the European-dominated society.
