Comments on: 2010 Native American Dollar Design Unveiled by US Mint http://news.coinupdate.com/native-american-dollar-design-unveiled-by-us-mint-0051/ Coin Collecting News Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:49:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Chris John http://news.coinupdate.com/native-american-dollar-design-unveiled-by-us-mint-0051/comment-page-1/#comment-509 Chris John Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:54:09 +0000 http://news.coinupdate.com/?p=1005#comment-509 Even Wikipedia could use a little updating now and then. The Tuscarora were once one of the "original" tribes comprising the Iroquois Confederacy. They were never a tribe who "joined" at any point in time. They made the arduous decision to leave the Confederacy..surrendering any power and status within the Confederacy by doing so..and moved their tribe to North Carolina at one point in time. Not able to adapt to the greater changes they found there, they returned to their homelands in what is now Western New York, but were never restored to their original status within the Confederacy. It is unfortunate, but this is why you do not see a sixth arrow depicted, nor another square on the Hiawatha Belt as well. Even Wikipedia could use a little updating now and then.

Since this is depicting the creation of the Haudenosaunee, I assume this is why they are not represented. Wikipedia says the Tuscarora joined later in the 18th century.
