It's always been clear that you're a PBS cock-gobbler. Way to go, ill-informed homo.
This is one of the more moronic things I’ve read to date
Quarter Cherokee and have our family's medical history of 700 years here on CONUS. I would say yes. I would say $400k would be about perfect. My spiritual side from Mom and the tech brain from Dad. And PBS is insanely gay.

You have no idea what you're talking about, you primitive chimp.

Lmfao pbs ......
In the context of the video, they were asking if Native Americans that hold tribal citizenship would be considered birthright citizens of the United States. Which is a valid question and warrants consideration. Because that wasn’t always the case, it wasn’t until like 1920s they were considered US citizens if they retained tribal sovereignty citizenry. So if a person is a tribal citizen, born on a reservation and isn’t subject to US laws, would they be a birthright US citizen?
You really are a stupid tar donkey aren't you. You should be chained up, along with your family, picking cotton for your superior human beings.
Are Native Americans birthright citizens?
Yes, Native Americans are citizens from birth, though this status is guaranteed by
federal law (statute) rather than the 14th Amendment of the Constitution.

Key Legal Status
- The 1924 Indian Citizenship Act: This landmark law, signed by President Calvin Coolidge, officially declared all Native Americans born within the United States to be U.S. citizens.
- Current Law (8 U.S.C. § 1401): Today, federal law explicitly lists "a person born in the United States to a member of an Indian, Inuit, Aleutian, or other aboriginal tribe" as a national and citizen of the United States at birth.
- Dual Citizenship: Native Americans can hold dual citizenship—both as U.S. citizens and as citizens of their respective sovereign tribal nations.

Historical Background
- Original 14th Amendment Exclusion: When the 14th Amendment was ratified in 1868, its "Citizenship Clause" was interpreted to exclude most Native Americans. This was because tribal members were considered to owe allegiance to their own sovereign nations rather than being "subject to the jurisdiction" of the U.S..
- Elk v. Wilkins (1884): The Supreme Court solidified this exclusion, ruling that a Native American man born to a tribe did not automatically become a citizen under the 14th Amendment, even if he voluntarily left his tribe to live among white Americans.
- Path to the 1924 Act: Prior to 1924, some Native Americans gained citizenship through treaties, military service (particularly in World War I), or land allotments, but the 1924 Act was the first to grant it universally to all born in the U.S..

- Justice Neil Gorsuch questioned whether the government's legal theory would inadvertently exclude Native Americans from birthright citizenship if the 1924 statute were ignored.
- Legal Protections: Experts note that while the 14th Amendment's application to tribal members remains a point of complex legal theory, their actual status as citizens remains protected by the 1924 statute, which no executive order can repeal.

Frontline used to be good,the only non-biased news documentaries I'd watch.Oh how times have changed.This new one was all Iran dick sucking,but the one before that had the original narrator that's been doing Frontline for decades,and damn good too,non biased,and also on Iran.Another about crying for Ecuadorian drug dealers,what the fuck.Keep the original narrator and do actual docs,not this fucking propaganda bullshit.
The mere fact to have such a stupid debate back then shows total ignorance and greed. Natives are more American than I could ever be. 500+ nations, come on. Fucks like Chivington, Sand Creek Massacre. Black Kettle had the AMERICAN FLAG as well as a white flag. Flags meant something back then, but not with nonAmericans. Fucking greedy fucks wanting more land. We can't have shit today because of this arrogant greed of the TRUE AMERICANS MANIFEST DESTINY, what a fucking joke. We should all be in a teepee in rebellion
