Most Indigenous Americans acquired U.S. citizenship through treaties and federal law. Treaties signed between Native American tribes and the U.S. government often included provisions granting citizenship to members of the tribes. Additionally, various federal laws were passed over the years that conferred citizenship on Native Americans, such as the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924. State laws and local laws generally have not played a significant role in granting citizenship to Indigenous Americans.
