Indian Peace Medals: Emblems of Diplomacy
The Smithsonian is highlighting Indian Peace Medals, the engraved medallions given by European colonial powers and later the United States government to Native American leaders as tokens of alliance and diplomacy. The medals, struck with portraits of rulers and presidents, served as official emblems of negotiated relationships on the frontier. Today they are examined both as artifacts of early American diplomacy and as symbols of the complicated, often broken promises made to Indigenous nations.
Why now: A major cultural institution is drawing fresh attention to the medals' historical and diplomatic significance.
