These fifteen cent Indian Art stamps were issued by the United States Postal Service in 1980. The envelope I received in the mail used two of the four designs in the series.
The first mask comes from the Heiltsuk people who originally lived on the coast of British Columbia. The middle mask is from the Chilkat Tlingit who came from Alaska. The masks were typically used for ceremonial purposes.
