The United Nations New York office issued a set of stamps on October 21, 2010, titled “Indigenous People,” as part of an ongoing series highlighting indigenous cultures. This release featured artwork depicting traditional indigenous attire, tools, and symbols from various ethnic groups with deep historical ties to their lands. The sheet consisted of six stamps, available in English, complementing similar issues from Geneva (German) and Vienna (French) offices.

Each stamp showcased artistic representations of indigenous peoples, emphasizing their cultural heritage and geographic connections. Collectors value these for their thematic focus on global ethnic diversity, often sought in first day covers or year sets. The design aligns with UN philatelic traditions of promoting awareness through vivid, culturally respectful imagery.
