The Hupa Open Weave Fish Trap Basket is a traditional handcrafted item from the Hupa people, an Indigenous Athabaskan group native to northwestern California, particularly along the Trinity River in what is now Humboldt County. These baskets represent a sophisticated example of Native American basketry, blending functionality for fishing with intricate weaving techniques passed down through generations. They are part of a broader tradition of open-weave (or “coiled” and “twined”) basketry used by Hupa and neighboring tribes like the Yurok and Karuk for trapping salmon, trout, and eels during seasonal runs.

Provenance: From the Len and Toni Wood Private Collection, Laguna Beach, California
