This is the third large postcard I am sharing from my Native American collection. It does not identify this Indian Chief by tribe etc. There is a quote on the back of the postcard..."Here lived and loved another race of beings...The Indian of falcon glance and lion bearing." Charles SpragueIt is an oversized postcard of 6 inches by 9 inches. I wonder if the proud woman is his wife. (There are several Charles Spragues, one once being governor of Oregon, another a poet, humanitarian from the East Coast in the 1800's.)
I have included a photo of a sand Painting I bought from a live internet auction in New Mexico. I love the sand paintings from the Navajo Nation. This one is called FOUR SEASONS by E.B. Benally of New Mexico.

Love the bearing on this couple. A wonderful find.
Wonderful card. I lived in NM for 23 years -- thanks for the memories. Happy PFF!
They both have such wonderful faces.
A wonderful card and the sand painting is fantastic. I know nothing about sand paintings but this looks amazing.
The couple on the card have such interesting faces.
What a beautiful card! Positively beautiful. I wish I knew more about the aspect of sand painting.
