It explains that, historically, Indians were not considered citizens of the United States unless specified in treaties or statutes. In 1887, a law was passed granting citizenship to Indians who received allotments or adopted civilized life, but this did not apply to the Five Civilized Tribes. In 1901, the act was amended to make members of the Five Civilized Tribes citizens of the United States.
