The Natchez people in North America have a history that dates back to the prehistoric era on the continent, when they were part of the large Mississippian culture. This grouping of people extended throughout the lower Mississippi Valley and out along its many tributaries. In the more recent past, Natchez people had significant contact with early French colonizers along the American Gulf Coast.

On the obverse of the 2017 1 oz Proof Louisiana Natchez Black Bear Silver Coin you’ll find the image of a tribal member from the Natchez. During the course of American history, Natchez communities were found largely in Louisiana and Mississippi, before being resettled in Oklahoma, where most modern descendants are now found.

The reverse of the Louisiana Natchez Black Bear Silver Coin includes a design honoring the American black bear. This species of bear is native to North America, and is the smallest and most widely distributed species. Black bears in Louisiana are found predominantly in the south-central region of the state.

The Native Dollars Series from the Native American Mint is designed to represent the different states of the United States with a particular tribe known to have lived or currently reside within its boundaries. Additionally, the reverse design of each highlights an animal either native to the local environment or important to the survival and culture of the tribe.
