Sacagawea

The Making of the New Sacagawea Dollar Coin
Some of you may remember the Susan B. Anthony Dollar. In fact, you may even have one in your possession. But did you know that the reserves of the Susan B. Anthony Dollar are running low and that the Mint needs a new dollar coin? The need is so great that in December 1997, Congress passed a law to create a new Sacagawea dollar coin. The decision to create a design inspired by Sacagawea reflects a long numismatic tradition of placing symbolic and allegorical images of women and Native Americans on U.S. coinage as a means of communicating our nation's history and values.

Native American Poem
**********************************
submitted by: Red Willow

Heart Eyes

Alone she walked the shoreline,
Sun beating down hard…
Keen eyes focused studying the rocks,
At last she spotted the ancient pottery shard…

Meanwhile overhead the white tailed Toma soared
Her spirits gladdened,
Because Toma she trusted and adored…

Long dark hair flowing so gently in this breeze,
She walked this beach before her with remarkable ease
Directly above her, so high up in a tree…
Sat 3 Eagle nestlings, calling, cree, cree, cree…

Soon time rolled back as happens so often…
Keetah swam a bit again, her skin to cool
And to soften…

Now transcending time, she felt the ancients all around…
She knelt reverentially, asking permission to walk this ground…

A woman’s voice whispered softly,
Keetah, there is something to be found..
She walked more slowly over the scissor sharp rocks…
Farther and farther from the vacationers docks…

Growing warm, she swam again,
As though she had both gills and a fin…

When she emerged, farther down on the beach,
Keetah knew this is where she was guided to reach…

Nestled in a bed of colorful rocks
Lay half a raven, killed by one of the hawks..
She studied the blue black feathers intently…
Honored by the medicine she had been allowed to see…

Suddenly the whisper became a voice
Asking Keetah, these feathers would she remove?
She answered the voice saying, they belong not to me…

She knelt before the feathers on bended knee…

A firm hand now lifted her to stand fully upright
There stood before her a medicine man,
In full regalia…

Keetah hid her fear and her surprise as slowly
She raised her head and looked deep into his dark eyes…

Keetah, I have the answer to the question you so often ask…
Why do I see and hear, what is my task?
She had never spoken this question aloud…
Asked it only of earth, water and cloud…

His hand smoothed her hair as gently he spoke,
“You see nothing with your eyes,
and everything past and present with your heart…
It is this gift Keetah, that sets you apart…”

Native American Prayer
**********************************
submitted by: Chelse
O Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds, And whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me!
I am small and weak, I need your strength and wisdom.
Let Me Walk In Beauty,
and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make My Hands
respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make Me Wise
so that I may understand the things you have taught my people.
Let Me Learn
the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I Seek Strength,
not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy - myself.
Make Me Always Ready
to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes.
So When Life Fades,
as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

Native American Humor
**********************************
Author: unknown
submitted by: Max

A BIA Employee sits in his office and out of boredom decides to see what's in his old filing cabinet. He pokes through the contents and comes across an old brass lamp. "This would look nice on my mantelpiece," he thinks so he takes it home with him.

While polishing the lamp, a genie appears and grants him three wishes. "I wish for an ice cold diet Pepsi right now!" POOF! A Pepsi appears before him on his desk so he picks it up and guzzles it all at once.

Now that he can think more clearly, he states his second wish. "I wish to be on an island where only beautiful women reside." POOF! Suddenly he is on an island with gorgeous females.

He then tells the genie his third and last wish: "I wish I'd never have to work ever again." POOF! He's back in his government office.
