Most of the info below came from https://nativeamericandollars.com/
The Native American Dollar coin series launched in 2009 to honor the contributions and accomplishments of Native Americans. Each year, a unique reverse design representing a different theme has been paired with the popular obverse design featuring Sacagawea.
The reverse design for each year is to be emblematic of one important Native American or Native American contribution. To the extent possible, the design themes are to be issued in the chronological order in which the Native Americans lived or the events occurred.
The theme for the reverse design of the 2015 coin honored the Mohawk Ironworkers who worked from 1886 onwards building prominent landmarks in New York City and other skylines. The Mohawk Ironworkers took part in the construction of such prominent landmarks as the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, the George Washington Bridge, and the World Trade Center.
Proof coins were also minted and this is the scope of this series. All are PF-70 UC graded by NGC. As with all modern proof coinage, the coins feature a cameo finish with frosted raised design elements and mirrored background fields.
The coins were made of 88.5% Copper, 6% Zinc, 3.5% Manganese and 2% Nickel and their weight is 8.1g.
NGC graded 5,756 2015-S $1 "Mohawk Ironworkers" Proofs, with 2,558 as PF-70 UC. 1,050,394 coins were minted in San Francisco.
I bought this coin in 2015 for $30.07 and today's price is around $48.00.
The reverse design features a depiction of a Mohawk Ironworker reaching for an I-beam as it swings into position. In the background an elevated view of the city skyline can be seen.
The reverse was designed by Ronald D. Sanders and engraved by Phebe Hemphill.
The obverse design, featuring the portrait of Sacagawea and child, was designed by Glenna Goodacre.

Very Nice post @ronaldoavelino!!!
I tried five times to comment on your post last night...blockchain problems??🤔
I have read about how the Mohawk and other Native American's were able to work high up on these sky scrapers.
Not the kind of work I could ever do...😳
Have a wonderful evening my friend!!🤗
I hate higher places. This was not my kind of job. :=(

I agree with you Ron!!!
I am a licensed private Pilot and I am OK INSIDE the plane, but put me somewhere up high and my hands will sweat!!😳
Not a job for me!!!
