Kansas

Found this in a corn field where at one time when Kansas was a Territory a Trading Post / Homestead stood.
It may not be from this era, but the majority of the items we are finding range in the 1850-1880 era.
It says, WE SHINE FOR ALL, and looks to have a Indian style sun face with feathers around it. It is some what bent, but it looks as though if flattened out it would be about 2" across.
I think it is made of copper account of the turquoise corrosion on it, but I am not sure. There doesn't appear to ever having a pin for attachment on the back.
Can anyone tell me about it ? Thanks !
