3318) The Falcon, USA: "Oglala Lakota Sioux Nation - Native Spirit Coin Series": The Falcon is also associated with the sky and sky deities - particularly the life-giving Sun Spirit, whose warmth radiates light, healing, peace, and life: Year of Coin issue: 2024:
The Oglala, (meaning "to
scatter one's own" in Lakota language) are one of the seven subtribes of
the Lakota people who, along with the Dakota, make up the Očhéthi Šakówiŋ (Seven Council Fires). A majority of
the Oglala live on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota, the
eighth-largest Native American reservation in the United States.
The Oglala are a federally recognised tribe whose official title is the Oglala Lakota Nation. It was previously called the "Oglala Sioux Tribe" of the Pine Ridge Reservation, South Dakota.
However, many Oglala reject the term "Sioux" due to the hypothesis (among other possible theories) that its origin may be a derogatory word meaning "snake" in the language of the Ojibwe, who were among the historical enemies of the Lakota. They are also known as Oglála Lakhóta Oyáte.

The design on this remarkable coin more than lives up to that lofty standard with Ultra High Relief (UHR) images on both sides with deep convex areas for maximum contrast with the designs.
