It is 1888, and you are an American Indian man living in Nebraska. You tried to vote in the presidential election this year, but the election officials would not let you vote. They said that even though you were born here, because you are an American Indian, you are not a citizen of the United States.
It is not until 1924, when American Indians are given United States citizenship, that you will be allowed to vote.
