General though he, to DO sure. was also present At the
time. q That an Indian Is not n natural born citizen
was settled BY the case Of Elk against wilkins decided
by the Supreme Court Of the United States In 1884. An
Indian Is not eligible TO citizenship under the general
naturalization laws: but Congress from time to time has
passed laws permitting the naturalization Of certain
Indian tribes. The opinion Of Mr.. Justice Gray, In Elk
against wilkins, Ia interesting and discusses the status
ofthe Indians 10 an exhaustive manner.
