Indigenous Americans were not allowed to vote until 1924 primarily because **they were not considered citizens of the U.S.** Prior to this, many Indigenous peoples were excluded from U.S. citizenship through legal and policy frameworks, which meant they were also excluded from voting rights. The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to Native Americans, but even after this, many states found ways to keep them from voting through various laws and regulations.
