The Jamul Indian Village is a federally recognized band of Kumeyaay people located near San Diego, California — which makes the "Mohican Massachusetts Wild Turkey" attribution on this piece geographically peculiar. Tribal nations gained broad authority to issue legal tender coinage through the 2000 amendment to the Native American Coinage Authorization Act, and a cottage industry of tribally-branded silver rounds followed almost immediately, most produced by private mints under licensing arrangements rather than by the tribes themselves.
The Mohican connection is to the Stockbridge-Munsee Community of Wisconsin, successors to the Mohican nation of the Housatonic Valley — not Jamul. These multi-tribe, multi-theme issues were common marketing constructs of the early 2020s silver round market.
