100 Years After the Indian Citizenship Act: The Continuing Struggle to Guarantee Voting Rights to Native Americans

ABA Standing Committee on the Law Library of Congress traveling exhibit

The exhibit explores Native American Voting Rights long before the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 as well as how the act failed to ensure Native American participation in elections. The passage act was neither the beginning nor end of the struggle to gain voting rights for Native Americans. The exhibit spotlights tribal leaders and lesser known, yet extraordinary voting rights activists from all walks of life.

Press release information can be found on the ABA website.

The Library of Congress provides brief overviews on Voting Rights for Native Americans and the Indian Citizenship Act, enacted by Congress June 2, 1924.
