Native American U.S. citizenship is a complex issue involving hundreds of tribes and Indian organizations. The earliest recorded date of Native Americans becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the ratification of the Treaty of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Citizenship could also be obtained by, 1. Treaty Provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw)
2. Allotment under the Act of February 8, 1887
3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple
4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life
5. Minor Children
6. Citizenship by Birth
7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces
8. Marriage
9. Special Act of Congress. It wasn't until after many Indians returned from fighting in WWI that some Americans felt obligated to make them citizens. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship entirely to America's indigenous peoples, called "Indians" in this Act. Other tribes who became U.S. citizens before 1924 were the Wyandot, Ottawa of the united bands of Blanchard's Fork and of Roche de Bœuf, and the Tsimshian & Metlakahtlans.

They were never actually considered citizens, even today they have their own lands to live on in America but still aren't considered citizens. They never completely merged with our society.

What do Native Americans do that US citizens don't do?
They belong to their Sovreign Tribal nation, but are still US citizens.
When Native Americans were made official citizens of the US in?
1927
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.
