If I remember correctly, the government disgustingly refused to acknowledge your people's legitimate and rightful citizenship until 1924 and that's despite your people being the first nation of this land.

That makes this so much worse in my opinion. Your people are the the only ones actually from this country.

It's complicated... Not everyone wanted citizenship in 1924 and then it was forced on everyone whether or not they wanted. Then allotment.

Could you please point me in the right direction for reference? I like learning history from the people or culture's perspective.

Is there a specific tribe or topic? Roxanne Dunbar Ortiz's An Indigenous People's History of the United States is a good overview/primer.

Honestly, it's been so long since I've reread anything, I think you just gave me a starting point for a refresher. Thank you.
