The Right to Vote
Itrange as it may seem today, until June 2, 1924,
Native Americans bom in this country were not grant-
Ued citizenship. That changed with a vote by Congress
in 1924, but even then, many Native Americans did not
gain the right to vote for another two decades or more.
Voting rights were a matter of state law, and some
states —Maine, for example—did not grant voting rights
to Native Americans ■
Native Americans mi;
have had the right to voi
within their tribal settle
ments, but statewide
elections were closed to
them. Even as the
schools established for Native American children pushed
assimilation, burying much of the culture and lore of
Native American families, the greatest American institu
tion of all—the vote—was withheld.
Politics is applesauce.
**’ Him to teach children about nature's toys: grass whistles,
popping leaves, clover bloeaom necklaces, and mapte leaf crowns.
