5 oz Wanduta: Portrait of a Chief Silver Coin
Description
Description
As a spiritual healer, Wanduta (Red Arrow), a Sioux Valley Dakota Chief, was a leading defender of traditional Indigenous practices. He travelled to Ottawa to protest the federal government's restrictive policies; but upon his return, Wanduta was arrested for “hosting” the dance in Rapid City and was convicted for this violation of the giveaway ban.
On January 26, 1903, he was sentenced to four months of hard labour and imprisonment at the Brandon Jail. Attempts to secure clemency proved futile as Wanduta served his entire sentence, but he remained undeterred. He continued his spiritual practices after his release; in doing so, Wanduta cemented his reputation as a heyoka, a respected member of sacred Dakota societies, who was revered for his abilities to help his people, and is remembered today for his efforts to keep tradition alive.
This coin commemorates one person's courage and dedication to preserving the cultural traditions of his community. Order your coin today!
