Indians who work for the Bureau of Indian Affairs 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.
Posters are part of the "mod" look in Indian art, and for someone looking for a decorative, different gift, these are the answer.
Subjects include 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 Delbridge 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 25¢ to cover postage and handling.
