Original Note:
In the case Elk v. Wilkins SCOTUS found that Native Americans were not subject to the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause as they were "not subject to the jurisdiction of the United States when they were born". A later act of Congress granted citizenship to Native Americans. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/112/94/ https://www.archives.gov/files/historical-docs/doc-content/images/indian-citizenship-act-1924.pdf
