Good, it's the only design I liked...

 

I like them all. They were all unique and different from the examples in the past have been. Maybe a different one each year?

 

I really like what it stands for go u.s.a.

 

i think thats the idea. They have done this since 2008 i believe. I still cant find the 2010 native american dollar.

 

They've done it since '09, and the main goal is to honor the Native Americans with a certain design basis every year until 2014, if I'm correct.

From the US Mint Press Release:

United States Mint Releases Designs for Native American $1 Coin on Native American Heritage Day on 11/28/2008

United States Mint Announces 2010 Native American $1 Coin Design on 11/27/2009

 

Well considering this was to represent the first WRITTEN treaty between the native americans and the europeans only the first design fulfills that descriptio because it is the only one that shows anything being written. None of the others could be related to a written treaty. Naturally that was ignored for a simple generic symbol that could relate to anything.

 

I liked the design with the three sitting and passing the peace pipe. It would have looked great and was nice art work IMO.
