The Indian Citizenship Act gave U.S. citizenship to Native Americans in 1924 .

It was part of a larger effort to assimilate Native Americans into American society.

John Sutter : Native Americans have come to terms with being dual citizens of the same country.

Native Americans navigate a uniquely complex web of layered citizenships, he says.

Census data shows median income for Native Americans on reservations is $ 23,000 a year 61% below the U.S. average.

One in three reservation residents live in poverty, three times higher than the general population.

In 2020 , Native American students constituted less than 1% of college and university enrollment nationwide.
