Denver Mint.
The Native American Dollar Program was established in the year 2000 to honor and recognize the many important contributions made by Native Americans and their tribes. These coins were originally referred to as the Sacagawea Golden Dollars and are now referred to as the Native American Dollars.
The 2025 Native American Dollar honors Mary Kawena Pukui and the series of books that she helped produce with the Queen Liliʻuokalani Children's Center. Nānā I Ke Kumu is the title of book series which translates literally to “Look to the Source.” The phrase appropriately represents Pukui’s life, work, and legacy, as she was someone who was constantly consulted for her expertise on various aspects of Hawaiian knowledge. Hawaiian knowledge is symbolized through the leaves and nuts of Hawaii’s state tree, the Kukui.
