3474) Native American Coin Sets—Shawnee, Arapaho, Susquehannock, Mohican, Chippewa, And Cheyenne Culture And History, United States of America (USA): A set of six Native American Coins featuring different Tribes minted by the Torrance, California-based Native American Mint which struck a series of Indian Sovereign Nations coins that are authorised by each tribe: Date/Year of Coin issue: 2022:
Long before America was a nation of states, it was a nation of tribes.
The Coin Sets:
To honour these tribes, the Torrance, California-based Native American Mint struck a series of Indian Sovereign Nations coins that are authorised by each tribe.
The coins are also recognized by the Federal Government as legal tender in each tribal nation as set forth in the Constitution of the United States and from the terms of bilateral treaties that date back to the 18th century.
Legal-Tender Native American Coins:
Coins of six 2022 Native American Coin Sets issued in 2022.
Each Sovereign Nation Set is made up of six coins—dollar, half dollar, quarter dollar, dime, nickel, and cent—honoring six different American tribes:
The Coin Sets of the various Tribes:
Known to be fierce warriors, the Shawnee lived in bark-covered houses during the summer and gathered in large villages were located near the fields where they cultivated corn and other vegetables.
During the winter months they dispersed into family hunting camps.
THE ARAPAHO were a nomadic tribe of buffalo hunters of the Great Plains of Colorado and Wyoming.
They were closely aligned with the Cheyenne Indians and enjoyed
peaceful relations with the Lakota Sioux Indians—in fact a small group of
Arapaho warriors were part of the massive Cheyenne-Lakota village located on
the Little Big Horn River that was attacked by Lt. Colonel George Custer’s 7th
Cavalry on July 25, 1876 that resulted in the greatest Native American victory
over U.S. forces in the nation’s long period of Indian Wars during the 1800s.
THE MOHICAN Indians are an Eastern Algonquian Native American tribe that historically spoke an Algonquian language and lived in the upper tidal Hudson River Valley. After 1680, conflicts with the powerful Mohawks to the west, many Mohicans were driven across the present-day Massachusetts western border. American writer James Fenimore Cooper provided everlasting fame to the tribe through his 1826 novel The Last of the Mohicans, which painted a romanticized image of the Mohicans with his portrayal of Chingachgook and Uncas, the book’s titular characters.
THE CHIPPEWA (or Ojibwe people) are one of the largest tribal populations among Native American peoples.
The Chippewa/Ojibwe language is Anishinaabemowin, a branch of the Algonquian language family. Sometimes referred to as Ojibwa Indians, today they live in Northern Minnesota, Northern Wisconsin, and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula as well as across southern Canada from eastern Quebec to eastern British Columbia.
THE CHEYENNE settled in the Black Hills of South Dakota and the Powder River Country of present-day Montana and Wyoming in the early 1700s.
They were close allies of the Arapaho and Lakota Indians and together, all three tribes joined forces in 1876 to defeat Lt. Colonel George Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Big Horn.
If one were to ask the Cheyenne, however, they were the muscle in the war against White encroachment.
As late tribal historian Bill
Tall Bull once said, “The Crows did the scouting, the Cheyenne did the
fighting, and the Sioux got the credit.”

Each coin is official legal tender, issued under the authority of the Indian Sovereign Nations, and comes in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition.
