1966 Pottawatomie Indians Mayetta Kansas

This vivid 1966 postcard captures a moment of tradition, pride, and celebration among young Pottawatomie braves preparing for the annual war dance at the July Pow-Wow in Mayetta, Kansas. Dressed in striking regalia—feathers, beadwork, and fringed garments that move with the rhythm of their steps—the dancers embody the living spirit of their heritage.

The Pow-Wow, a cherished gathering of tribes, has long served as a space for honoring ancestors, renewing cultural ties, and passing down stories through music and movement. This card offers a sensory echo of the warmth, sound, and pageantry of a summer gathering under open Kansas skies.

This would look great framed or make an excellent addition to any collection.
