At best, if that, I was only vaguely aware of this, i.e., that there was a time when Native Indians did not have U.S. citizenship. I did NOT know about this act passed in 1924. Very neat. I was glad & excited to learn about.

I am tempted to buy a roll of coins. If I had seen this, well ahead of my trip to the Mi’kmaq Mawiomi I would definitely have got a roll. It would have been NEAT to give some — especially to kids.
Not sure whether I will be meeting any Natives in the next few months. No plans.
But, I will keep this in mind. Neat. Very neat. I am chuffed.
