By BECKY BOHRER Associated Press 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 is set for Friday in Juneau, where Worl lives. “I think a lot of people already are learning that there’s a lot more richness in authentic work, and authentic work from Indigenous people and the stories that are there,” he said. Worl said his Twitter following exploded from five to more than 8,000 after he shared the Postal Service s tweet highlighting the stamp announcement earlier this month, with his own quote tweet adding: “I did a thing.”
