Some of our friends with Dancing Eagles are now on gold back Oklahoma currency! Congrats y’all!
Here’s your first look at the Oklahoma 10 Goldback! ✨
Oklahoma is home to more Native American tribes than any other state, and this artwork was created in collaboration with those Native voices.
It features a living tradition—the Fancy Shawl Dance.
The figures shown are not just symbolic. They're real people:
⭐️ Mike Pahsetopah of the Osage Nation, a world champion fancy dancer, cultural ambassador, and author
⭐️ Heaven, his daughter, an accomplished dancer who's performed nationwide and on HBO
You’ll also find these meaningful symbols:
🪽 Ruby-throated hummingbird
🦬 American bison (state animal)
🐦⬛ Raven
🦋 Swallowtail butterflies
🌸 Indian blanket flowers (state wildflower)
This artwork honors the virtue "Unitas" or "Unity." Inscribed at the bottom is the phrase "Walk in harmony with all things."
