After the passage of the Indian citizenship act of 1924 what were American Indians?

After the passage of the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, American Indians were granted U.S. citizenship, which allowed them to vote and enjoy other rights of citizenship. However, the act did not automatically guarantee these rights in all states, as many continued to find ways to disenfranchise Native Americans through legal loopholes and various state laws. It wasn't until 1957 that voting rights were fully enforced nationwide for American Indians. The act marked a significant step toward recognizing the legal status of Native Americans within the United States.
