The Indian Citizenship Act, or Snyder Act, of 1924 marked a pivotal moment in American history, granting Native Americans citizenship and paving the way for their voting rights.
Join the U.S. Capitol Historical Society‘s Native American Suffrage Symposium for a day of engaging panel discussions and a lunchtime conversation, where we will explore the impact of the Indian Citizenship Act, the evolution of Native American suffrage, and the ongoing efforts to protect and preserve Native American voting rights. The event features three panel discussions and a lunchtime conversation with leading scholars and practitioners, representing a balance of federal, academic, tribal, and advocacy perspectives, along with a diversity of regional viewpoints.
As we work to secure the funding needed for an event worthy of this important historical milestone, we invite you to become an Honorary Co-host and contribute to this event.
