I'd say the point at which they're incorporated would be when their lands were surrendered and actually became part of the United States, which for the vast majority of the characters is long since passed; however, they would likely still retain dual citizenship with their tribal reservations as well as the encroaching United States. For the modern Native, I've used the template I had in Marvel handbooks: Shaman (Sarcee), Scalphunter (unknown), Portal (Kisani), American Eagle (Navajo)

The Native american status is either mentioned in history text or added as a group affiliation, never as a citizenship.

Aaaaaaaand, I just found Wyatt Wingfoot having his Keewazi membership as a citizenship, instead of a group affiliation. That doesn't help to have a policy.

I grew up here in a part of the country where prejudice towards Native Peoples is sadly a very real thing, so the issue possibly bothers me more than it would others. No problem, I didn't saw your intervention as aggressive. I myself am from a minority nation inside my own country (even if the scale of the transgressions is without comparison with the hurt done to the First nations)
