Are they Americans? Were they born in America?

Of course they can vote.

“Are Indians allowed to vote?”

Yes, they were the last ‘minority’ to be given the vote.

1870 Blacks were given the right to vote

1920 Women

1925 Indians

Logically, you'd think not, since their tribes are "nations", but if illegal aliens, dead people, dogs and cats are allowed to vote, then why not?

indigenous must mean “here when we got here” because “native americans”... aren’t “native”. I can trace my heritage back to the 1600’s. My family arrived here in 1753. How long until I’m considered “native”?

The Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 gave them that right.

Many states, including, Utah & New Mexico overtly did not allow Indians to vote until 1956 & 1962.
