What really stands out in this one is the “Citizen?: No” My goodness.he was here before them. Who do they think they are?

Um, well, Leslie, “they” were what might be called “Keepers of the Wards of the Government.” And Native People were considered “Wards” until such a time as each was individually judged “Competent” and then they could go through an application process to become “Citizens.” No, that’s not a bad joke.
For more information you might take a gander at The Great Father: The United States Government and the American Indians by Francis Paul Prucha

Oh and becoming a “Citizen” was not always a positive thing on several levels–not the least of which was that often that designation of “Citizen” was like a “sign” for “Open Season for Losing Land to Land Grabbers.” Perhaps nothing else illustrates the differences between values and perception of the world than all these issues regarding citizens and their land ownership.
