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.

A Postcrosser sent an envelope with assorted cards including vintage ones of Navajos as well as this card from Idaho. It may have been sold near Ft Hall, a historic fur trade post site built in the 1830s on the Snake River. It is within the boundary of the Ft Hall Indian Reservation, home to Shoshone and Bannock peoples.
