Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes. Fasting,  singing and prayer in the ancient languages of their people, and sometimes drumming are also  common.Native American art comprises a major category in the world art collection. Native  American contributions include pottery(Native American pottery), paintings, jewellery,  weavings, sculptures, basketry, and carvings.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes. Fasting,  singing and prayer in the ancient languages of their people, and sometimes drumming are also  common.Native American art comprises a major category in the world art collection.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes. Fasting,  singing and prayer in the ancient languages of their people, and sometimes drumming are also  common.Native American art comprises a major category in the world art collection.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes. Fasting,  singing and prayer in the ancient languages of their people, and sometimes drumming are also  common.Native American art comprises a major category in the world art collection.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.

Native Americans in the  United States are the indigenous peoples from the regions of North America now encompassed  by the continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii.  They comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which  survive as intact political communities. Some of the main tribes are, Cherokee, Choctaw,  Comanche, Crow, Nipmuc, Ojibwa, Abenaki, Algonquin, Eskimo, Lakota Sioux, Navajo, Apache,  Seneca, Mohawk, Iroquois, Seminole, Hopi, Mohave, Mahicans, Mohicans, Zuni. There has been a  wide range of terms used to describe them and no consensus has been reached among indigenous  members as to what they collectively prefer to be called. Native Americans have also been  known as Indians, American Indians, Aboriginal Americans, Amerindians, Amerinds, Colored,  First Americans, Indigenous, Original Americans, Red Indians, or Red Men. Native Americans  in the United States are the indigenous peoples from North America now encompassed by the  continental United States, including parts of Alaska and the island state of Hawaii. They  comprise a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of which survive  as intact political communities. The terminology used to refer to Native Americans is  controversial  : according to a 1995 US Census Bureau set of home interviews, most of the  respondents with an express preference continue to refer to themselves as American Indians  or Indians. European colonization of the Americas led to centuries of conflict and adjustment between  Old and New World societies. Most of the written historical record about Native Americans  was made by Europeans after initial contact. Native Americans lived in hunter/farmer  subsistence societies with significantly different value systems than those of the European  colonists. The differences in culture between the Native Americans and Europeans, and the  shifting alliances among different nations of each culture, led to great misunderstandings  and long lasting cultural conflicts. Estimates of the pre-Columbian population of what today constitutes the United States of  America vary significantly, ranging from 1 million to 18 million. After the colonies revolted against Great Britain and established the United States of  America, the ideology of Manifest destiny became integral to the American nationalist  movement. In the late 18th century, George Washington and Henry Knox conceived of the idea  of &quot;civilizing&quot; Native Americans in preparation of American citizenship. Assimilation  (whether voluntary as with the Choctaw,19th century, most Native Americans of the American  Deep South were removed from their homelands to accommodate American expansion with some  groups presently residing in Alabama, Florida, Lousianna, Mississippi, North Carolina, and  Tennessee. By the American Civil War, many Native American nations had been relocated west  of the Mississippi River. Major Native American resistance took place in the form of &quot;Indian  Wars,&quot; which were frequent up until the 1890s. Native Americans today have a unique relationship with the United States of America because  they can be found as members of nations, tribes, or bands of Native Americans who have  sovereignty or independence from the government of the United States. Their societies and  cultures still flourish amidst a larger immigrated American populace of African, Asian,  Middle Eastern, and European peoples. Native Americans who were not already U.S. citizens  were granted citizenship in 1924 by the Congress of the United States.  The Indian  Citizenship Act of 1924 granted U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans. Prior to the  passage of the act, nearly two-thirds of Native Americans were already U.S. citizens. The  earliest recorded date of Native Americans&#39; becoming U.S. citizens was in 1831 when the  Mississippi Choctaw became citizens after the United States Legislature ratified the Treaty  of Dancing Rabbit Creek. Under article XIV of that treaty, any Choctaw who elected not to  move with the Choctaw Nation could become an American citizen when he registered and if he  stayed on designated lands for five years after treaty ratification. Through the years, Native Americans became US citizens by: 1. Treaty provision (as with the Mississippi Choctaw) 2. Registration and land allotment under the Dawes Act of February 8, 1887 3. Issuance of Patent in Fee Simple 4. Adopting Habits of Civilized Life 5. Minor Children 6. Citizenship by Birth 7. Becoming Soldiers and Sailors in the U.S. Armed Forces 8. Marriage to a US citizen 9. Special Act of Congress. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in  Congress assembled, That all noncitizen Native Americans born within the territorial limits  of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States:  Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise  affect the right of any Native American to tribal or other property. —Indian Citizenship Act of 1924 No particular religion or religious tradition is hegemonic  among Native Americans in the United States.[citation needed] Most self-identifying and  federally recognized Native Americans claim adherence to some form of Christianity,[citation  needed] some of these being cultural and religious syntheses unique to the particular tribe  such as the various forms of the Native American Church. Traditional Native American  ceremonies are still practiced by many tribes and bands, and the older theological belief  systems are still held by many of the &quot;traditional&quot; people.[specify] These spiritualities  may accompany adherence to another faith, or can represent a person&#39;s primary religious  identity. While much Native American spiritualism exists in a tribal-cultural continuum, and  as such cannot be easily separated from tribal identity itself, certain other more  clearly-defined movements have arisen among &quot;traditional&quot; Native American practitioners,  these being identifiable as &quot;religions&quot; in the clinical sense. Traditional practices of some  tribes include the use of sacred herbs such tobacco, sweetgrass or sage. Many Plains tribes  have sweatlodge ceremonies, though the specifics of the ceremony vary among tribes.
