Hupa-Salmon Fishing

The Trinity River is the heart of the Hupa Nation. The people depend on it for water, food, and spiritual solace.
Hupa are a Native American people of the Athabaskan-speaking ethnolinguistic group in northwestern California. Their endonym is Natinixwe, also spelled Natinook-wa, meaning “People of the Place Where the Trails Return”. The majority of the tribe is enrolled in the Federally recognized Hoopa Valley Tribe.
The Hupa people migrated from the north into northern California around 1000 AD and settled in Hoopa Valley, California (Hupa: Natinook). Their heritage language is Hupa, which is a member of the Athabaskan language family. Their land stretched from the South Fork of the Trinity River to Hoopa Valley, to the Klamath River in California. Their red cedar-planked houses, dugout canoes, basket hats, and many elements of their oral literature identify them with their northern origin; however, some of their customs, such as the use of a sweat house for ceremonies and the manufacture of acorn bread, were adopted from surrounding indigenous peoples of California.
