Owner Comments:

When many of us think about Native Americans, typically tribes like the Seminole and Comanche come to mind. There were a large number of diverse Native American tribes that inhabited this area before it became the United States. However, Native Hawaiians are also Native Americans.

This silver proof features a design paying tribute to Native Hawaiians and their culture. It was struck by the Native American Mint and issued in 2017. It’s actually just one design of an entire series issued by various Native American tribes. Each design in the series depicts a member of the respective tribe on one side and an animal that was important to the tribe on the other.
