American Indians who work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs at its headquarters in Washington, D.C., are offering three multi-colored travel posters for sale as unusual Christmas gifts.
The posters, designed by American Indian art students, are based on the theme, "Discover America with the First Americans," an invitation to visit Indian reservations at vacation time.
The posters sell for $1.75 each with all proceeds going directly into college scholarships for Indian youngsters
Included among the subjects are a classic Kachina figure; a black and white rendition of an Indian on a horse against a brilliant yellow and orange background; and a psychedelic design
Creators of the posters were Delbert Honanie, a Hopi; Joe Powskey, Hualapai-Hopi; and Ben Martinez, Navajo
The general public may order the posters from the American Indian Society, of Washington, 519 5th Street, S.E., Washington, D.C. 20003. Add 35 cents to cover postage and handling for one poster, 50 cents for all three.
