The Kichai historically inhabited the southern plains region from present-day Texas near the Trinity River and its tributaries, over to the densely wooded forests of Louisiana. They spoke a Caddoan language, which is part of the larger Caddo language family. This language is now extinct, with few records remaining.
In the obverse design of 2024 Proof Native America the Beautiful Louisiana Silver Coins, the mint features a depiction of Kichai tribal members building a wood settlement. Kisatchie National Forest in Louisiana is named in honor of the tribe and its members that lived in the region. The forest encompasses a wide range of ecosystems, including pine forests, hardwood forests, bayous, and prairies. This diversity of habitats supports a rich array of plant and animal species, some of which are rare or endangered.
For the reverse side of 2024 1 oz Proof NATB Louisiana Silver Coins, you will find a depiction of the American bald eagle. This common design for the series captures the stoic gaze of the bald eagle inside an eight-pointed star with arrowheads between each tip in the star’s design.
