Native American Citizenship Day, on June 15, celebrates the day in 1924 when Native Americans were officially recognized as U.S. citizens. Before this, even though they lived in the United States for thousands of years, they weren't considered full citizens by the government. This day honors their rights and contributions to the country and reminds everyone of the importance of treating all people with respect and fairness. It teaches us to appreciate and understand the Native American cultures and histories better.
