On This Date in Minnesota History: June 2

June 2, 1924 - On this date Congress granted citizenship to all Native Americans born in the U.S.

Yet even after the Indian Citizenship Act was passed, some Native Americans weren't allowed to vote because the right to vote was governed by state law. Until 1957, some states barred Native Americans from voting.
