The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County — not a Cherokee nation, and entirely unrelated to Cherokee tribes geographically or politically. A coin attributing "Cherokee tribes" to a Kumeyaay issuer suggests either a generic tribal dollar series where nation-specific branding was applied inconsistently, or a straightforward cataloging error in the source data.
These Native American dollar issues circulate within sovereign tribal economies under authority granted by federal recognition, not U.S. federal coinage law.
