Today in 1924 Congress extended universal US citizenship to Native Americans—148 years after the Declaration of Independence, 59 years after slavery abolished, and not long outside living memory! My grandma (“full blood”) was born 4 months prior to this and she lived until 2012!

Today, May 5th, we stand in remembrance and action for Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Relatives. This is not just awareness it is accountability. We honor their lives by continuing the fight for justice, visibility, and protection for our communities. #MMIW #MMIWG

This article focuses on the Etiwan people and their descendants within the Wassamasaw Indian Nation, contending that citizenship operated as an additive legal status rather than a substitutive one.

@collins_neal @JustinBamberg I'll agree with that!

Domestically, the U.S. Constitution recognizes Indigenous peoples through the allocation of federal authority over Indian affairs, most notably in the Indian Commerce Clause.
