The U.S. Postal Service has released a new set of Forever stamps honoring the vibrant traditions of Native American powwows. The Powwows: Celebrating Native American Culture stamps feature original artwork by Cochiti Pueblo artist Mateo Romero, capturing the dynamic movements and rich regalia of Indigenous dancers. The four designs highlight the Women’s Traditional Dance, Crow Hop Dance, Men’s Hoop Dance, and Women’s Fancy Shawl Dance.
Powwows are a cornerstone of Indigenous culture, bringing together communities through dance, music, and tradition. The largest of these gatherings, the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow in Albuquerque, NM, attracts over 100,000 attendees each year.
Designed by USPS art director Antonio Alcalá, these Forever stamps will always hold the value of a First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.
Customers may purchase stamps and other philatelic products through the Postal Store at usps.com/shopstamps, by calling 844-737-7826, by mail through USA Philatelic or at Post Office locations nationwide.
