The obverse (heads) design retains the central figure “Sacagawea” carrying her infant son, Jean Baptiste.
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.” The Act notably did not require American Indians to give up their tribal citizenship to become U.S. citizens, allowing individual Indian people to preserve their tribal identity and their right to communal tribal property.
The 2024 design shows an eagle staff, an American Indian symbol of respect, honor, and patriotism, together with an American flag to represent the dual citizenship of Native Americans.
