The Snyder Act of 1924, also known as the Indian Citizenship Act, granted native Americans full U.S. citizenship, allowing them the right to vote in elections. This was considered somehow recognition for their role in the armed forces during WWI. This act was signed by President Calvin Coolidge on June 2nd, 1924.
