Printed by rotary process, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects.
This stamp was issued to commemorate the one-hundredth anniversary of the settlement of the Five Civilized Indian Tribes in the State of Oklahoma.
The stamp is 0.84 by 1.44 inches in dimension, arranged horizontally, printed by the rotary process, in brown, electric-eye perforated, and issued in sheets of 50 subjects. The central design is an outline map of the State of Oklahoma on which is the white Gothic lettering "Indian Centennial Cherokee Chickasaw Choctaw Muscogee Seminole." To the left arranged from top to bottom are the seals of the Cherokee, Chickasaw, and Choctaw Tribes, and on the right in the same order are the seals of the Muscogee and Seminole. Between these two groups of seals and below the State border is the wording "The Five Civilized Indian Tribes of Oklahoma, 1848–1948" in dark Gothic. Just below is a dark ribbon on which appears "United States Postage" in white Gothic. In the lower right corner in white modified Roman is the denomination "3¢."
The Indian Centennial stamp was first placed on sale at Muskogee, Okla., on October 15, 1948.
