Explanation:

The Snyder Act (1924) was significant as it granted U.S. citizenship to Indigenous Americans. While citizenship did not immediately guarantee voting rights in all states (as some states still had restrictions), it was a crucial step that opened the door for Indigenous Americans to fight for and gain voting rights in the subsequent years.

• The 15th Amendment (1870) affirmed suffrage for Black men (not the Snyder Act).
• The 19th Amendment (1920) gave women the right to vote.
• Poll taxes were used to limit voting (especially for Black Americans and the poor) and were not related to the Snyder Act. The 24th Amendment (1964) prohibited poll taxes in federal elections.

Answer:

The Snyder Act gave Indigenous Americans U.S. citizenship, opening up the opportunity for voting rights.
