Despite that win, the tribe hasn’t issued citizenship cards, blocking their voting rights and full participation. The lawsuit challenges the tribe’s 1979 constitution, which restricts membership to those listed on the Dawes Rolls, excluding Freedmen descendants. Similar rulings have already expanded citizenship in the Seminole and Cherokee Nations. The Muscogee Nation insists tribal matters must be handled internally and pledges to follow its laws fairly — even if it means taking time to get policies right.
