To celebrate Native American Heritage month I am giving away Native American postcards...if you would like to receive one please email me with your address at NDNcards@gmail.com
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.

UNESCO Canada
An archaeologist in Canada sent me this wonderful card showing the new United Nations heritage site of Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump. The card has been issued by the Canadian Postal Service and Laura was so kind to special order it for me! Before horses became available First Nations hunters strategically moved bison herds close to cliffs and frightened them to jump off; many of these sites have very thick bone beds showing years of use.
