Ghost Bear is featured on these fantasy stamp issues from
Maidem Kodom, which is my own fanciful name for a Maidu
Indian postal authority. Such a postal service does not, of
course exist; for these are examples of faux postage stamps, or
artist stamps, or artistamps as they are called.
I used to dream of a small she bear with whom I would fly in
my dreams. We would travel to caves. The walls of these caves
were covered with paintings done with earth paints. These
dreams occured when I lived at Chi Chi Te, or Black Earth
Village, in Feather Falls, which is an area in the Sierra Nevada
Mountains of Northern California.
Dreaming is highly respected by the Concow Maidu Indians.
It is the basis of their traditional religion, called Kuksu. See
