The Indian Civil Rights Act of 1968, also known as the Indian Bill of Rights, extended certain constitutional rights to Native Americans that were previously denied to them by the federal government. It aimed to protect the civil rights of Native Americans living on reservations and tribal lands, including the rights to freedom of speech, religion, and assembly, as well as the right to due process of law and equal protection under the law. The act also prohibited tribal governments from depriving individuals of these rights without due process.
