Andrew Jackson wanted the Native Americans out of the south because they were on fertile land. Also they heard that the Native Americans had gold so the Americans wanted their gold.
Anthony Ervin is the first swimmer of African American descent to win a gold medal. Ervin is of African American and Native American descent on his father's side, and Jewish American on his mother's side.
The Spanish explorers of the 1500's encountered the Native American Aztec Empire and the Native American Inca Empire. Both empires were subjugated by the Spanish conquistadors. It was discovered that these empires valued gold and silver the same way Europeans did so tons of gold and silver were stolen and shipped back to Spain.

There are native American gold miners in Africa
It's not a specific person - it's a stylized portrait of a Native American
These coins are called Sacajawea dollars because they depict the Native American woman by that name who guided part of the Lewis and Clark expedition. Remember, the coins aren't really gold, just brass.
One dollar. It's a modern Native American dollar, and is made of brass rather than gold. Various designs have been minted since 2000. Billions are available - any major bank should be able to get them for you at $1 each.
This is a Sacagawea dollar coin. It's not gold and is just face value.
$1. It's not gold and not a Liberty dollar. These coins are made of brass and the image on the front is the Native American guide Sacajawea, not Miss Liberty. Well over a billion were struck so they're definitely not rare.
There were only 2 series of gold $1 coins. Those minted from 1849 to 1854 have a picture of Miss Liberty, while those made from 1854 to 1889 have a stylized Native American princess*Some modern "golden" dollars carry a portrait of Sacajawea.(*) The image may have been intended as a blend of both Miss Liberty and a Native American woman, akin to the design on the famous Indian Head cent.
It's a Sacagawea dollar, it's NOT made of gold it's made of brass and is just a dollar.
This is a US dollar coin from 2009 or later. At the same time the Presidential Dollar series is being released, one new "Native American" coin is released every year. The first in this series was released in 2009 and is the one you mention. To clear up several questions and misconceptions: > Yes, the coin is made of brass. Gold is FAR too expensive to make into large circulating coins. > The coin DOES have a date, it's on the coin's edge. > The Native American woman depicted on the front of the coin is an interpretation of the famous guide Sacajawea rather than Pocahontas. > The woman on the back is a generic image.
If you're referring to a Presidential dollar or Native American (Sacajawea) dollar, remember that they're brass, not gold. Hundreds of millions have been made and they're only worth $1 if you get one in change. A nice uncirculated one might retail for all of $2.

I think you mean "centennial', but in any case a coin from 2000 would be 174 years late for the American Centennial - that took place in 1876. Any small gold-colored coin with a Native American woman and her baby depicted on the front is a standard circulation-issue Sacagawea dollar. Over a billion have been minted and they're the exact opposite of rare.
