SHUMUP KO HUP Indian Store:
In about 2000, Eva Salazar (Kumiai) cofounded Shumup Ko Hup gift shop with Jane Dumas and her daughter, Daleane, in the San Diego Old Town State Park.
Their Indian store sold only authentic traditional ethnographic art handcrafted by California Indians. In the store's heyday, the Aboriginal women promoted and represented a thriving Southern California Indian co-opt of more than 60 Native California Indian artisans. Unfortunately for the community, their popular gift shop and HOWKA.COM website closed in 2007 as a result of hard times during the Great Recession.
