The Native American $1 Coin Program was established to honor and recognize the significant contributions of Indian tribes and individual Native Americans. For 2024, the obverse (heads) design continues to showcase a portrait of Sacagawea, who is depicted carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste. The inscriptions on this side include “LIBERTY” and “IN GOD WE TRUST,” and the coins maintain their distinctive edge lettering and golden color.

On June 2, 1924, the Indian Citizenship Act was signed into law, granting U.S. citizenship to “all non-citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States.” Importantly, the Act allowed American Indians to retain their tribal citizenship while becoming U.S. citizens, enabling them to preserve their tribal identity and rights to communal property.

This landmark legislation not only conferred the rights and protections of citizenship but also enriched the cultural diversity of the nation by allowing Native Americans to engage with U.S. citizenship on their own terms. The 2024 design features an eagle staff, symbolizing respect, honor, and patriotism, alongside the American flag to represent the dual citizenship of Native Americans. Inscriptions include “United States of America,” “$1,” and “Indian Citizenship Act of 1924.
