These three posters Printed on a single sheet) target the drive to encourage people to buy war bonds at a specific community. They were designed by young Native Americans and were intended for posting on Native American reservations. The first two posters relate the message to traditional Native American life, one likening bombers to tomahawks. (It is interesting that the Curtiss Tomahawk was the name of a US fighter plane.) The third is instructional, showing Native Americans buying war bonds.
