In May of this year the U.S. Capitol Historical Society (USCHS) held a symposium to celebrate the centennial of Native American Suffrage. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted citizenship to all “Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States” and marked a pivotal moment in Native American history. To view a recording of the symposium, go to https://www.youtube.com/live/uC2vH4Ghdrs?si=dUmKCLGkz8AXYqsM. To learn more about USCHS, go to https://capitolhistory.org/
