Is this true?

 

  

"Technically-speaking, America wasn’t founded until the summer of 1776 and so “Native Americans” didn’t actually exist.

Congress, during the summer of 1924, passed the “Indian Citizenship Act”, which declared all Indians who were born in what eventually became North America to be American citizens.
Before that, Indians were considered citizens of their own tribes, not U.S. citizens, even though some had gained citizenship earlier through various treaties, land allotments, and possibly military service.
The 14th Amendment didn’t apply to them because tribes were treated as separate sovereign nations. Even after 1924, many states blocked them from voting until the 1960s."
