| 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 numbering fewer than a dozen enrolled members. Tribal nations gained the authority to issue legal tender coinage through the American Indian Relief Act of 1994 and subsequent arrangements with the private mint sector, though these pieces circulate almost exclusively as collectibles rather than through any active tribal economy.
The Lenape connection is geographical and historical, not tribal — the Lenape (Delaware) people were displaced progressively westward from their Atlantic seaboard homeland across two centuries of colonial pressure.
