The earliest recorded date of Native Americans' becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen. There has been considerable debate about Native American U.S. citizenship. In 1857, Cheif Justice Roger B. Taney expressed that since Native Americans were "free and independent people" that they could become U.S. citizens. Prior to the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to those Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens.

Were native Americans allowed voting rights during the times of the civil rights movement?
Following World War I, Congress passed the Indian Citizenship Act, 1924 which gave them citizenship including the right to vote. Many western states, however, refused to allow them to vote and used tactics like poll taxes, reading requirements, and even hiding the polling places, to prevent them from voting. In 1947, Miguel Truillo, a Native American, sued New Mexico for not allowing him to vote. He won the case and Arizona and New Mexico were required to allow all Native Americans to vote. Following that case, western states granted Native Americans the right to vote.
