    Black members of Oklahoma Native American tribe file federal lawsuit to gain citizenship rights

    Black descendants of enslaved people within the Muscogee Nation are suing tribal leaders in federal court over citizenship rights, challenging a refusal to issue citizenship cards despite a 2025 tribal court ruling. The lawsuit claims violations of an 1866 treaty that granted citizenship to Freedmen, with the tribe citing constitutional restrictions on membership to blood descendants listed on the Dawes Rolls.
