Does this mean that Native Americans cannot carry $20 bills?

“Does this mean that Native Americans cannot carry $20 bills?”

It’s my understanding that some are very adamant about not using $20 bills. I’ve not personally encountered any that are vocal about it even though I’m in OK, home to the tribes Jackson moved out of the southeast.

While visiting friends in Alabama, we bought some barbecue sauce at a little stand run by a guy who said he was an Indian. The stand was completely covered with anti-Jackson screeds, but he did accept my $20 bill.

The Post’s article completely misses an important point. Until nearly the end of the Indian Wars, Indians did not class themselves as ‘Indians’ but rather as Navajo, Hopi, Apache, Cherokee, etc. Jackson had nothing to do with the Navajos and I’d be surprised if Navajos have much of a beef with him.
