The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.

  The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924, (43 Stat. 253, enacted June 2,
  1924) was an Act of the United States Congress that imposed U.S.
  citizenship on the indigenous peoples of the United States.

  While the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution
  defines a citizen as any persons born in the United States and
  subject to its laws and jurisdiction, the amendment had previously
  been interpreted by the courts not to apply to Native peoples.
