On this day in 1924, the silent president, Calvin Coolidge spoke via radio to the American people.

I had no idea that he also did this:

On June 2, 1924, Coolidge signed the Indian Citizenship Act, which granted full U.S. citizenship to all Native Americans, while permitting them to retain tribal land and cultural rights. However, the act was not clear whether the federal government or the tribal leaders retained tribal sovereignty

Funny how the government always has gray areas when they deal with Native Americans. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. Native Americans are some of the bravest. In an age where you can get phentermine no prescription, cheeseburgers that are 1400 calories, and mint chocolate chip ice cream, a nation should be able to retain their sovereignty.
