USPS Cover Native Americans and Christmas Block Stamps

USPS on 25 April 2025 issued a series of USA Forever stamps entitled "Powwows: Celebrating Native American Culture," which honour Native American gatherings. The stamps featured original paintings by Cochiti Pueblo artist Mateo Romero, depicting Native American dancers in traditional regalia. Four different dance styles were represented: Women's Fancy Shawl, Women's Traditional, Crow Hop, and Men's Hoop Dance. Powwows are significant cultural events for Indigenous people, fostering community and celebrating traditions through dance, music, and art.

This cover included a block of USPS Christmas stamps showing a snow-covered rural mailbox filled with cards and packages. This 13 cent stamp was first issued in 1977. The cover is dated 30 April 2025. Postmark cancellation originated from Hoosick Falls, New York.
