In honor of Indigenous American People’s Day, Iron Tail, an Oglala Lakota, was the man whose image was used on the Indian Head nickel. The Indian Head nickel was first issued in 1913 and was made through 1938. It came about when President Theodore Roosevelt decided he wanted to “upgrade” the nation's coinage. He called upon his friend, sculptor James Earl Frazier, to design the coin.
