"100 Years Ago: Native Americans Gained Citizenship but Not Voting Rights"

Despite the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granting U.S. citizenship to Native Americans, many still face significant barriers to voting, particularly in remote areas. New Mexico's recent Native American Voting Rights Act aims to improve access by allowing tribal offices to serve as addresses and providing on-reservation voting sites. However, challenges persist, including tensions with county election administrators and new voter ID laws. Advocates continue to push for equal voting rights and participation among Native American communities.
