Description:

This set of five U.S. West Telecards, titled "A Northwest Legacy," showcases Native American artifacts from the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs Reservation in Oregon. Each card features a high-quality photographic image representing important tribal traditions and sacred artifacts linked to the Wasco and Paiute tribes. The distinct color bands on the right edge and the varying denominations—$3.00, $5.25, $5.25, $11.00, and $22.00—highlight the individual designs in the set.

The $3.00 card with an orange sideband displays close-up images of traditional beads, including white, brown, and turquoise colors laid over a textured sandy surface. The $5.25 telecard with a purple sideband features a traditional Native American drum resting on dark fur, with leather ties hanging loosely from its edge. Another $5.25 card with a blue sideband highlights an aged, handcrafted leather pouch or container showing wear, positioned on a light fabric surface.

The $11.00 card with a green sideband exhibits a woven textile with a rich, geometric pattern featuring triangles and thunderbird motifs in red, yellow, and black, folded atop a similarly textured fabric base. The final $22.00 telecard with an orange sideband depicts several stone tools and a pipe with a wooden handle, arranged carefully on fringed leather, representing ceremonial or utilitarian objects.

All cards carry the U.S. West Communications logo and the text "U S WEST Telecard," emphasizing their use as collectible phone cards. This set celebrates the cultural heritage and sacred artifacts of Native American tribes from the Northwest region while also functioning as prepaid communication tools.

Since we have the world's largest inventory of USA phonecards for collectors, you will not necessarily receive the identical serial/batch/PIN number that we have scanned/pictured.
