Not sure just what you have, but it sounds like a souvenier piece that would have been sold at the shrine and not a silver dollar. It is possible that the reverse of a real silver dollar was filed off and the Indian portrait was added by some private company. It would not be something that would be listed in any numismatic value guide, so the only way to find out what it is worth is to advertise it for sale and see what offers it brings.
It is Sacajawea, the American Indian.

The image is actually Miss Liberty, not a Native American woman. In 1859 the US Mint's engraver, James B. Longacre, designed Lady Liberty wearing a feather bonnet for the 1-cent piece. From the beginning, people mistook the Liberty head for an Indian head and the misnamed Indian-head penny was born. One unconfirmed story is that Longacre used his teen-aged daughter as the model, or one of the models, for the portrait.
The word Liberty or a depiction of Miss Liberty appears on ALL US coins. These cents are normally called Indian Head "pennies", please see the Related Question.
