November is Native American Heritage Month, a time to celebrate the historical and cultural contributions of Native Americans. More than 4,500 USPS employees trace their origins to either American Indian or Alaskan Native roots.
Native American culture has been reflected on U.S. postage since 1898 with the issuance of a 4-cent stamp known as “Indian Hunting Buffalo.” Since then, nearly 60 stamps have portrayed Native American themes.
