The reverse of the Native American dollar illustrates Mary Kawena Pukui wearing a hibiscus flower, a kukui nut lei, and a mu‘umu‘u adorned with an aloha print. Stylized depictions of water appear in the background. Inscriptions include her name, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and $1. The inscription NANA I KE KUMU translates literally to “Look to the Source.”

Nana I Ke Kumu is the title of a series of books that Pukui helped to produce with the Queen Lili‘uokalani Children’s Center. The phrase itself is considered evocative of Pukui’s life work and legacy, as she was continually consulted for her expertise on various aspects of Hawaiian knowledge.

The reverse was designed by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program designer Christina Hess and sculpted by Mint Medallic Sculptor Phebe Hemphill.

The common obverse depicting Sacagawea carrying her infant son, Jean-Baptiste, was rendered by sculptor Glenna Goodacre for the Sacagawea dollar introduced in 2000 and used until 2008. The design continues to be featured on the Native American dollar series introduced in 2009.
