| Additional information |
Jamul Indian Village, a Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, is one of the smallest federally recognized tribes in the United States — at times reduced to a single enrolled member retaining federal recognition. Token coinage issued by Native American tribal nations operates under a legal framework distinct from federal currency law, with tribes exercising sovereign authority to produce their own exchange media for use within tribal enterprises.
The 2018 date coincides with the period following the tribe's long legal battle to operate Jamul Casino, which faced years of litigation from neighboring groups before opening in 2016.
