I agree, Barry. Thank you, very much, Hilda, for posting this. I did not know about it and will certainly celebrate in your honour.

Thought this might be of interest, in the US: The journey by Native Americans on the road to citizenship was marked by travels through a maze of U.S. Federal Indian polices that left the Indian nations exhausted and nearly extinct by the time they were given citizenship. (1924) And it was another 20 years before they had the right to vote throughout the U.S. Though they won the right to vote twenty years later, in some instances states kept them from it until the mid-20th century.

Thanks, Azizi, for posting about this in the other thread.
