Colville Indian Reservation Tribal Bird Stamps

The Colville Reservation is located in northeastern Washington. Starting in 1990, the Twelve Confederated Tribes of the reservation began requiring non-tribal members to purchase a bird stamp prior to hunting waterfowl. The 1990 stamps did not have the year or fee printed on them. Both the 1990 and 1991 stamps were die cut and self-adhesive with a peelable backing material. In 1991 the size of the stamp was increased and the year, fee and serial number were printed on the stamps. Serial numbers were printed in red ink. Stamps were discontinued following the 1991 season.
