| Additional information |
The Jamul Indian Village, a federally recognized Kumeyaay band located in San Diego County, is among the many tribal nations that have issued local currency tokens under the sovereign authority recognized by federal Indian law. These tribal issues occupy an odd legal space — not legal tender in the U.S. monetary system, but valid within the issuing nation's jurisdiction, a distinction that has generated intermittent disputes with state tax authorities over the decades.
The Wyandot attribution here is curious; the Wyandot are a Great Lakes people with no geographic or political connection to the Jamul band, making this a commemorative or inter-tribal solidarity issue rather than a circulating community token.
