The U.S. Postal Service will issue four new forever stamps April 25 in Albuquerque, N.M., honoring Native American powwow traditions. Titled Powwows: Celebrating Native American Culture, the stamps feature artwork by Cochiti Pueblo artist Mateo Romero and depict the Crow Hop, Women’s Traditional, Women’s Fancy Shawl, and Men’s Hoop dances. The release coincides with the Gathering of Nations Pow Wow. A first-day ceremony is planned at Tingley Coliseum during the event.
