The Sacagawea Native American dollar was authorized to be redesigned in the Native American $1 Coin Act, passed in 2007. The act called for the one dollar coin to be redesigned to depict "images celebrating the important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the development of the United States..." The redesigned Native American Dollars kept the obverse design largely intact, although the date and inscription E PLURIBUS UNUM were moved to the edge of the coin.
The 2010 Native American Sacagawea Dollar was designed by artist Thomas Cleveland. The reverse depicts the Hiawatha belt surrounding five stone tipped arrows, along with the inscriptions UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, $1, and HAUDENOSAUNEE. The subject of the design is the Great Tree of Peace.
