| Additional information |
The Oglala Sioux Tribe, based on the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota, holds federally recognized sovereign status that legally permits the issuance of tribal currency. These cents are a genuine exercise of that authority, not novelty tokens — they circulate within the reservation's economy alongside federal coinage. Pine Ridge remains one of the poorest communities in the United States by median household income, and the tribal currency program is tied to broader economic self-determination efforts dating to the post-AIM period of the 1970s and 1980s.
