Hollow Horn Bear Postage Stamp from 1923

One of the artifacts at the National Museum of the American Indian in D.C. that I included in my previous post was a 14¢ postage stamp (also pictured below) featuring the Sioux warrior Hollow Horn Bear that was first issued by the U.S. Post Office 100 years ago! Among other things, I learned that this was an expensive stamp because, back in 1923, you only needed a 2¢ stamp to mail a letter! Here is more information about the iconic Hollow Horn Bear stamp.

    “American Indian” is the caption… as if this were some native woodpecker of North America, part of the collection of sights one might see if one were to head out that way, an anthropological curiosity.
