<p>[QUOTE="Indianhead65, post: 400948, member: 103422"]These coins were designed by artists working for the U.S. Mint (government) and are depicting only what the U.S. Gov. wants the public to see, peaceful Native Americans planting and raising crops. Do you think there would ever be a coin design of a war torn indian village with slaughtered indian warriors and raped indian women laying about the ground? I dont see any accomplishment in these events such as Little Big Horn or Sand Creek except for the Native Americans having their land taken away and their food supply killed off to force them further west. If you'd like a more realistic design on a coin, this would be it. Of course, it would never happen. As a person with a strong Native American heritage, I'd rather see images of Native American Chiefs on the reverse of the coins, without these men, Sacagaweas trip with Louis & Clark would have been meaningless.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
