In 2009, the United States Mint began minting and issuing $1 coins featuring designs celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the History and development of the United States. The Native American $1 Coin Program was authorized by the Native American $1 Coin Act. The 2014 Native American Dollar Coin commemorates native hospitality ensuring the success of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. Its reverse (tails) design depicts a Native American man offering a pipe while his wife offers provisions of fish, corn, roots and gourds. In the background is a stylized image of the face of William Clarks compass highlighting NW, the area in which the expedition occurred. It includes the required inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The obverse (heads) design retains the central figure of the Sacagawea design first produced in 2000 with the inscriptions LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST.
