It has been a century since the Indian Citizenship Act was signed into law by former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge on June 2, 1924. The Act granted citizenship to all American Indians born in the U.S. and was in part a response to the distinguished military service of Native Americans in World War I. We commemorate its passage and reflect on the centennial of this historic advance in civil rights of Indigenous peoples in the United States.
