JUNEAU, Alaska (AP) — Alaska Native artist Rico Worl said he jumped at the chance to create for the U.S. Postal Service a stamp he hopes will be a gateway for people to learn about his Tlingit culture. A ceremony marking the release of Worl’s Raven Story stamp was held Friday in Juneau, where Worl lives. Jakki Krage Strako, an executive vice president with the Postal Service, was on hand for Friday’s ceremony. David Rupert, a Postal Service spokesperson, said 18 million Raven Story stamps are being produced.
