Mother Earth is below and Father Sky is above, giving six directions in total. These six directions are also symbolized by animal fetish carvings.Indigenous Native American tribes have tribal sovereignty in the United States, giving them the authority to govern themselves within the borders of the United States. These tribes are considered domestic dependent nations, which is a form of parallel sovereignty within the U.S. constitutional framework.This coin is an official commercial item that represents the tribe, but there is no legal face value, as tribes are not allowed to create their own currencies. This ability is reserved for the federal government.The photos are meant to be an indication of the product you will receive.Some Toning see Pics for overall conditions*******************
