Commerative Native American Code Talkers Medal, minted by the US mint and given to the families of code talkers. On the obverse is a kneeling soldier with the words "Tlingit Warriors Code Talkers" and on the reverse an image of a killer whale with the words "Killer Whale Clan" "World War II" and "Act of Congress 2008".This medal was the only commemorative coin minted to honor the Tlingit code talkers. It displays a hat that was repatriated to the Dakl'aweidi clan by the NMNH (the hat was formerly NMNH catalog number E230063). The hat and related replicas and images of it have become a symbol of the relationship of the clan with the Smithsonian, as well as a symbol of the clan itself. Although the clan has other killer whale hats of other forms, this form was chosen to represent them on this important medal. Historically, the medal honors the Tlingit code talkers, including Mark Jacobs Jr., and their service to the United States in WWII.

This one as used at the potlatch of Mark Jacobs in 2007. It shows a photo of Jacobs wearing the NMNH Killer Whale Dakl'aweidi clan hat (formerly NMNH catalog number E230063) on January 2, 2005, when it was repatriated to him in a Sitka hospital. The two killer whale images on either side of his photo are the killer whales on Mark's clan house in Angoon; commonly called the "Killer Whales facing away house". This item shows how imagery at memorial potlatches honor the individual memorialized as well as their clan crest connections through their crest symbols."
