Hupa-Karok-Yurok
Hupa-Karuk-Yurok...The Hupa group lived along the lower portion of the Trinity River. The Hupa had frequent contact and close relations with their neighbors the Yurok and Karuk whom lived along the lower Klamath River.
Most northwestern tribes seemed to use similar styles of plain, 2-strand twining in their basketry. The Yurok designs were usually simple patterns of bars or dots. The Hupa used California hazel, pine root, squaw grass, and maiden hair fern in their basketry; the Karuk mainly used warp rods, willow shoots, brown conifer root, and myrtle.

Elizabeth Hickox (1874-1947) baskets stand out from among all other California Native baskets for their extreme delicacy as well as technical and aesthetic refinement. "Lizzie" was known as a virtuoso among her basket weaving peers and her works were marketed early on by premier merchants of Native American art and collected by both museums and well-to-do collectors. She developed a remarkably distinctive style of lidded baskets. This basket is a fine example of her exceptional work.
Elizabeth Hickox baskets were marketed by the premier merchant for baskets, Grace Nicholson. Elizabeth's weaving may represent some of the finest twining ever done. Nicholson ledger number for the basket is attached to the bottom of the basket (#6752).
