The Hupa (also known as Hoopa) are a Native American tribe from northwestern California, along the Trinity River. Their traditional basketry is renowned for its fine craftsmanship, primarily using twining techniques (plain twining, three-strand twining, and overlay) rather than true wicker plaiting. Materials include California hazel sticks for warps, conifer roots (like pine), bear grass or squaw grass, maidenhair fern for black overlays, and Woodwardia fern dyed for patterns. Designs are often geometric—simple stripes, zigzags, bars, dots, or diagonals—with overlays typically on the exterior only.
