On this day in 1924, the Indian Citizenship Act, also known as the Snyder Act, was signed into law, granting U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans born within the United States. The legislation marked a historic shift after Native people had long been excluded from citizenship under both the U.S. Constitution and the 14th Amendment.

But while the law recognized Native Americans as citizens, it did not guarantee full civil rights. Many states continued using discriminatory practices to block Native people from voting for decades, including restrictions tied to reservation residency, taxation, and tribal enrollment. Even Native veterans, including Code Talkers returning from World War II, were denied access to the ballot box.

More than a century later, Native communities still face barriers to equal access and political representation, making the anniversary both a reflection on progress and a reminder of the work that remains.

May Mental Health Awareness Month is almost over, but tools to keep us grounded can be used at any time or any place.

Deep breathing exercises are beneficial and are one of my favorite tools that help to keep me grounded.

🌸What is one activity or medicine that keeps your mind, heart, and spirit at peace??
