Punta Chueca (
Seri
:
Socaaix
) is a
Seri
town located on the
Gulf of California
in the
Mexican state
of
Sonora
. It is located 25 kilometers north of the fishing and tourist town of
Bahía de Kino
. Both of these towns are part of the
Municipality of Hermosillo
.
[1]
One of the two villages on the Seri Indian communal property (the other being
El Desemboque
(
Haxöl Iihom
)), it has small stores, a primary school and a small satellite-fed secondary school (
telesecundaria
). It is one of the closest points on the mainland to
Tiburón Island
, separated from it by the
Canal del Infiernillo
(
Xepe Coosot
). According to the Mexican census of 2010, the town (officially a locality, or
localidad
), had a population of 520 inhabitants.

_______________________________________
The Seri or Comcaac are an indigenous group of the
Mexican
state
of
Sonora
. The majority reside on the Seri communal property (Spanish,
ejido
), in the towns of
Punta Chueca
(
Seri
:
Socaaix
) and
El Desemboque
(
Seri
:
Haxöl Iihom
) on the mainland coast of the
Gulf of California
.
Tiburón Island
(
Tahejöc
) and
San Esteban Island
(
Cofteecöl
and sometimes
Hast
) were also part of their traditional territory. They maintain an intimate relationship with both the sea and the land. They are one of the ethnic groups of Mexico that has most strongly maintained their language and culture throughout the years after contact with Spanish and Mexican cultures.
The Seri people are not related culturally or linguistically to other groups that have lived in the area, such as the
Opata
,
Yaqui
(sg.:
Yequim
, pl.:
Yectz
),
O'odham
(sg.:
Hapaay
), or
Cochimí
. The
Seri language
is distinct from all others in the region and is considered a
language isolate
.
[2]
Beside the
Apache
(sg.:
Hapats
, pl.:
Hapatsoj
) and Yaqui, the Seri are best known as fierce
warriors
for their resistance against subjugation by the
Spanish
(sg.:
Casopin
) and later
Mexicans
(sg./pl.:
Cocsar
). The Seri had been living on the coast of Sonora with little outside interference for centuries, if not millennia.
[3]
But with colonization, they were displaced from their land and forced to work for others and adopt Christianity. Scholars write about a slaving raid in 1660s: "A posse of Spaniards had cut a swath through the Seri lands, killing most of the adults of one band and distributing the children in the Spanish towns of Sonora."
[4]
The name Seri is an
exonym
of uncertain origin. (Claims that it is from Opata or from Yaqui were nineteenth-century speculations based on similarity to words in those languages and not with clear evidence.)
[2]
Their name for themselves is Comcaac (phonemically
/kom'kɑːk/
, phonetically
[koŋˈkɑːk]
); singular: Cmiique (phonemically
/'kmiːkɛ/
), phonetically
[ˈkw̃ĩːkːɛ]
).

The definition of artistamp is as followed:
DEFINITION OF ARTISTAMPS
The term
artistamp
(a
portmanteau
of the words "artist" and "stamp") or
artist's stamp
refers to a
postage stamp
-like art form used to depict or
commemorate
any subject its creator chooses. Artistamps are a form of
Cinderella stamps
in that they are not valid for postage, but they differ from
forgeries
or bogus
Illegal stamps
in that typically the creator has no intent to defraud
postal authorities
or
stamp collectors
.
Artistamp creators often include their work on legitimate mail, alongside valid postage stamps, in order to decorate the envelope with their art. In many countries this practice is legal, provided the artistamp isn't passed-off as or likely to be mistaken for a genuine postage stamp. When so combined (and sometimes, less strictly speaking, even when not so) the artistamp may be considered part of the
mail art
genre.
Irony
,
satire
,
humor
,
eroticism
and subversion of governmental authority are frequent characteristics of artistamps. Artists may leverage the expectation of official endorsement that necessarily inheres in governmentally-issued postage for the purpose of shocking or subverting viewers' expectations, with such actions typically representing a specific political and artistic motive. Other practitioners are content to depict more homey subjects like kittens and family members. Some artists use the form create fantasy stamps for their own
postal administrations
or
countries
– in many cases thereby developing or complementing an imaginary
governmental system
.
DEFINITION OF CINDERELLAS
In
philately
, a
cinderella stamp
is "virtually anything resembling a postage stamp, but not issued for postal purposes by a government postal administration..."
[1]
The term also excludes
imprinted stamps
on
postal stationery
.
