USPS in 1996 issued a series of five stamps entitled "American Indian Dances". Shown here are each of the dances -- Fancy Dance, Butterfly Dance, Traditional Dance, Raven Dance and Hoop Dance -- on a mint souvenir sheet.
The Traditional, Fancy, and Hoop dances are attributed to many tribes across the United States and are primarily performed at pow-wows. A ceremonial dance, the Raven Dance is only performed in the Pacific Northwest, while the Butterfly is performed by Southwest Pueblo tribes.
