John Fryar (Lamar Associates Director, Investigations) is pictured with Randy'L Teton while she was at the Albuquerque coin show October 11-12, 2008. John is an official in the Albuquerque Coin Club and sponsored her visit. Lamar Associates was pleased to have the opportunity to assist in the sponsorship.
Randy'L He-dow (Meadowlark) Teton is Shoshone-Bannock from the Fort Hall Reservation in Southeastern Idaho. She modeled for the Sacagawea dollar that debuted in January 2000. With the recent passage of the “Native American $1 Coin Act”, the reverse of this coin will undergo annual redesign starting in 2009. The new designs will be "celebrating important contributions made by Indian tribes and individual Native Americans to the history and development of the United States." She is living history as one of only two living people featured on current U.S. coinage.
