The Hiawatha Belt is a visual record of the creation of the Haudenosaunee, also known as the Iroquois Confederacy, with five symbols representing the five original Nations. The central figure on the belt, the Great White Pine, represents the Onondaga Nation with the four square symbols representing the Mohawk, Oneida, Cayuga and Seneca Nations. The bundle of arrows symbolizes strength in unity for the Iroquois Confederacy. The design is by Artistic Infusion Program Master Designer Thomas Cleveland. Featured on the obverse (heads side) of the 2010 Native American $1 Coin is the familiar "Sacagawea" design by sculptor Glenna Goodacre, first produced in 2000. Inscriptions on the obverse are LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST. Like the Presidential $1 Coins, the Native American $1 Coins are minted in the distinctive golden color with the year, mint mark and E PLURIBUS UNUM edge-lettered on the rim. Authorized by the Native American $1 Coin Act (Act) (Public Law 110-82), the United States Mint is minting and issuing the $1 coins to recognize Native Americans for their contributions to the development and history of the United States.

April Fools! It is believed that April Fool's Day originated in France. In 1582, the French government switched to the Gregorian calendar. With the old calendar, New Year's Day was celebrated for more than a week. It started March 25 and ended with gift-giving on April 2. The new Gregorian calendar moved New Year's Day to January 1. Without cars and cell phones, it took years to spread the change to other areas. Still, those who were more rebellious refused to acknowledge the change and continued to celebrate the New Year on April 1. Those who continued to celebrate became the brunt of silly pranks and jokes. They were called "fools" by others. The tradition spread from France into England and Scotland in the 1700's. Later, it spread to America and beyond. Each country celebrates the day differently. In France, people celebrate a tradition called "Poisson D'avril," meaning "April's Fish". One common practice is to attach paper fish to a person's back without them noticing. In England, jokes are only played in the morning. Fools are called 'gobs' or 'gobby' and the victim of a joke is called a 'noodle.' It is considered bad luck to play a practical joke after noon. Newspapers
and TV stations even join in on the fun. For example, in 1960, a
Dutch TV station reported that the Tower of Pisa had fallen. In
1996, Taco Bell ran a newspaper ad saying the company had bought a
famous monument and would call it the Taco Liberty Bell.
