The Hupa, Yurok, Karok, Tolowa and Wiyot Tribes make up the Hupa Group.

They made use of California hazel, pine root, squaw grass, and maiden hair fern.

The Hupa used twining and open twining techniques with false embroidery.

Twined Hats, trinket and storage baskets, and large burden baskets all make up the Basketry of the Hupa group.
