| Additional information |
Jamul Indian Village, a Kumeyaay band in San Diego County, is one of the smallest federally recognized tribes in the United States — at times numbering fewer than a dozen enrolled members on its roughly six-acre reservation. Tribal nations gained broader authority to issue their own coinage and currency instruments following a series of federal rulings clarifying sovereignty over internal economic instruments, though tribal coinage remains an uncommon exercise of that authority and sees virtually no general circulation.
The "Pueblo tribes" designation here is geographically and culturally odd: Kumeyaay people are distinct from Pueblo peoples of the Rio Grande valley. Whether the attribution reflects a licensing arrangement or a cataloging imprecision is worth verifying before attribution is finalized.
