Final answer:
Congress recognized birthright citizenship, but many states did not grant Indigenous people this right for a long time. Indigenous people had to fight for their citizenship rights.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the United States, Congress recognized birthright citizenship, which is the principle that anyone born on US soil automatically becomes a US citizen. However, despite this recognition, many states did not grant Indigenous people this right for a long time. Indigenous people had to fight for their citizenship rights and it wasn't until the mid-20th century that they gained more widespread recognition of their birthright citizenship.
