C280 Marshallese Culture VI
Issue Date: September 15, 2008
On September 15, 2008, the Marshall Islands Postal Service issued 5 new stamps in its ongoing series celebrating the unique and
beautiful artistry of Marshallese Culture. Even as late as the early 1800s, Western civilization had not yet reached the Marshall Islands. Subsequently, the unique culture and traditions of the
Islanders remained virtually untouched by foreign influences. Over the course of many centuries, however, the proud and eminently resourceful Marshallese developed a rich and fascinating culture
that became apparent in their home-building, clothing styles, religious activities, canoe-construction, navigation and fishing methods, just to name a few. The stamps in this sixth installment
of the Marshallese Culture series depict vintage photographs capturing various scenes of Marshallese life: Lokeinlik Wearing Traditional Mat for Men (c.1913), Limekto Weaving Hat From Kimej
(c.1904), Unfinished Outrigger (c.1904), Young Boys in Mejit (c.1911), and Lonkoon With Fish Trap (c.1905).
