| Reverse description | The reverse depicts two hands jointly holding a long ceremonial pipe, symbolizing the peace treaty of 1621 between the Wampanoag people and the Pilgrim settlers. To the left, a small figure of a Wampanoag man in traditional dress and a decorative fringe element are visible, reinforcing the cultural context of the alliance. The denomination $1 is prominently displayed in the upper central field, with the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA arcing along the upper periphery. The inscriptions WAMPANOAG TREATY 1621 appear in three lines across the lower field, with the engravers' initials JFM (Joseph Menna) and RM (Richard Masters) located at the lower right. |

| Additional information |
The 2011 Native American Dollar commemorates the 1621 treaty between the Wampanoag and the Plymouth colonists — one of the few early colonial agreements that held for several decades before deteriorating into King Philip's War in 1675. That conflict, proportionally one of the deadliest wars in American history, effectively ended Wampanoag political independence in southern New England.
The Native American Dollar series was mandated by the Native American $1 Coin Act of 2007, which requires a new reverse design annually. Edge lettering carries the date and mint mark, a production detail that caused early strikes to occasionally show weak or missing edge inscriptions — a known quality control issue across the Presidential and Native American dollar programs.
