I collect Native American postcards and have approximately 4000 featuring Indigenous peoples & cultures of the Americas, north to south. A portion of my research examines representation of Native culture in the media and I am interested in the educational use of postcards as Cultural & Public History/Anthropology. I have published on the history of Southern Plains Native cards; for a list of postcard reference books, see the bottom of this page.

Mapuche
I have been receiving many wonderful cards from Hernan in Chile, South America showing native peoples. This card features the Mapuche people. Hernan always writes great information about their clothing, jewelry, lifeways and even words in their language. I've learned so much about this tribal group and look forward to what Hernan sends next!
