Native American Hupa Flask Basket Bottle

Native American Hupa Flask Basket Bottle - unusual! As is - some bottom edge damage, please see all photos. 

The Hupa people migrated from the north into northern California around 1000 CE  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.
