國會同意賦予所有在美國出生的原住民美國公民的資格:192462

美國原住民一直以來都努力保有自己的文化。在1924年之前,美國原住民都還不具有美國公民的身份。許多美國原住民雖然居住在美國本土的保留區裡,但是他們卻擁有不同的國籍。但是在西元192462日,國會決定授與所有在美國出生的原住民美國公民的資格。然而,就在這個印第安人公民法案 (Indian Citizen Act) 通過之後,有一些美國原住民還是不能參與投票,因為是否享有投票權,乃是規定在各州法律裡的,並不是由中央所訂定的。一直到1948年,有一些州還是不允許美國原住民享有投票的權利。


Native Americans have long struggled to retain their culture. Until 1924, Native Americans were not citizens of the United States. Many Native Americans had, and still have, separate nations within the U.S. on designated reservation land. But on June 2, 1924, Congress granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S. Yet even after the Indian Citizenship Act, some Native Americans weren't allowed to vote because the right to vote was governed by state law. Until 1948, some states barred Native Americans from voting.
