History Talk with Defining "American"



Native American Soldiers in World War I and the Path to Citizenship

Now - Nov 20, 2024. 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM

From the Revolutionary War through the present day, American Indians have proudly served the U.S. Army often without recognition or the benefits of citizenship. 


During World War I, nearly 12,000 Indigenous Soldiers served in the armed forces with distinction. Their actions to protect the nation focused attention on disparities among Indigenous Americans and paved the way for all Indigenous people to enjoy the promise of American citizenship. 


In this History Talk, explore the commitment, challenges, and bravery of Native American Soldiers during World War I. Learn how their actions led to citizenship for all Native people and helped lay the groundwork for voting rights.
