After the Civil War, freedom came with a promise.
In 1866, new treaties required several tribal nations to grant citizenship to formerly enslaved people and their descendants. It wasn’t just about emancipation — it was about belonging.
But what happens when a promise written into a treaty is questioned generations later?
This episode explores the aftermath of emancipation inside Native nations — where sovereignty, identity, and treaty obligations collide. Descendants of Freedmen were once guaranteed citizenship. Today, some are fighting legal battles to prove they still belong.
Is this about race?
Is it about sovereignty?
Or is it about who has the power to define identity?
When law and ancestry clash, citizenship becomes more than paperwork — it becomes survival.
A promise was made in 1866.
The debate is still alive.
