Definition(s)

  • Fifty-four years after the Fifteenth Amendment granted all U.S. citizens, regardless of race, color, or previous condition of servitude, the right to vote, the Citizenship Act of 1924 provided U.S. citizenship to all Indians who were not already citizens by other prior acts, such as military service in World War I or their acceptance of an allotment under the General Allotment Act of 1877 (Dawes Act). The Citizenship Act also gave Native Americans new legal protections. [Source: Encyclopedia of United States Indian Policy and Law; Voting Rights]
