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.

Sarcee family
The Tsuu T'iana (formerly called Sarcee or Sarsi) are a Canadian First Nations group, They are an Athabascan tribe who lived on Canada's southern plains in the 1700s and are linguistically related to the Naisha (Plains Apache) who lived on the Northern Plains of Montana at the same time. The Sarcee may have been culturally influenced by their friendly associations with the Blackfeet, who hunted bison and lived in hide tipis. Approximately 2000 tribal members live on or near a small reserve located near Calgary.
This photo was taken approximately 1890 and mailed from Oklahoma.
