Using four or more complete sentences, describe how the Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 and the Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 helped relieve discrimination against Native Americans.

Answer:

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 was a big step forward for Native Americans as it allowed Native Americans to become United States citizens with limited rights. For example, Native Americans were not allowed to vote in some states until the mid-1900s. The bill opened up new legal routes for the Native Americans to claim rights to land, natural resources, and compensation for poor treatment from the government. The Indian Reorganization Act of 1934 was aimed at re-establishing Native American culture and traditions and government. Unallotted lands were handed over to the tribes who then created governments that would manage the lands and interact with local, state, and national governments.
