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.

Seminoles
To increase my collection of SE cards I purchased a few old linens featuring Seminoles of Florida. Linen postcards have an additional amount of cotton and were produced in the 1930s & 1940s. The Curteich card identifies Hiptenea Osceola and baby Conapatchee in the Florida Everglades near Miami may be from the early 1930s, while the canoe & village scene was postmarked from Miami in 1949.
