The 2026 Native American $1 coin recognizes Polly Cooper, an Oneida woman whose compassion and knowledge became part of one of the most challenging chapters of the American Revolution. According to Oneida oral tradition, Cooper joined a relief expedition to Valley Forge during the winter of 1778, when George Washington's Continental Army faced severe hunger and hardship. Along with 47 Oneida warriors, she helped deliver white corn to the soldiers and taught them how to prepare it properly as hulled corn soup, transforming an unfamiliar food into a source of nourishment during a desperate time. Her actions have long been remembered within the Oneida community as an expression of generosity, service, and cultural knowledge.

The new coin is part of the U.S. Mint's Native American $1 Coin Program, which highlights the contributions of Native individuals, Tribal Nations, and significant events in Indigenous history. By honoring Polly Cooper, the program also brings greater attention to the Oneida Nation's alliance with the Continental Army, a decision that carried lasting consequences for the Nation. Following the Revolutionary War, the Oneida endured retaliation, land loss, and the displacement of many citizens from their ancestral homeland, making Cooper's story part of a much broader history of sacrifice, resilience, and perseverance.

Public commemorations such as this offer an opportunity to recognize Indigenous figures whose contributions have too often been overlooked in mainstream histories. Polly Cooper's legacy extends beyond a single act of kindness; it reflects the enduring values of generosity, community responsibility, and leadership that continue to shape the Oneida Nation today. By telling these stories more fully, commemorations like the 2026 coin help broaden our understanding of the many Native people and Nations whose actions have influenced the history of the United States.

Today is Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) Awareness Day, also known as Red Dress Day.
Recently, the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation, including our Mashantucket Royalty, gathered at the Connecticut State Capitol to honor Indigenous women and girls affected by violence and raise awareness of these ongoing injustices.

The red hand symbolizes the connection between the physical and spiritual worlds. By wearing red, we call upon the strength and guidance of our ancestors.

Join us in remembrance and solidarity.
