Native American Playing Cards Set One is an illustrated historical playing card set from U.S. Games Systems, featuring full-color portraits of 19th-century Native American figures. Much of the artwork is drawn from Thomas L. McKenney and James Hall’s History of the Indian Tribes of North America, one of the best-known 19th-century collections of Native American portraiture.

This set is best understood as a historical portrait deck rather than a modern cultural guide. The artwork reflects a specific 19th-century documentary tradition, connected to diplomatic visits, tribal delegations, and early American recordkeeping. For collectors, teachers, and history-minded card players, it offers a compact way to study a distinctive chapter of American visual history.
