On September 1, 2009, the Marshall Islands Postal Service issues five new stampscelebrating Marshallese Culture -- the seventh issue in this ongoing series. 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 ofmany 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 seventh installment of the Marshallese Culture series depict vintage photographs capturing various scenes of Marshallese life.
