I have said it seems to me he is a citizen already under the fourteenth constitutional amendment as soon as he severs his tribal relation and takes the homestead that the law now allows him to take. The fourteenth amendment is very broad in its provisions. It reads thus: All persons born or naturalized in the United States. and subject to the jurisdition thereof. are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States. nor shall any State deprive any person of life. liberty. orproperty. without duo process of law.nor deny to anypersn within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. Is the Indian a person?
