KUMEYAAY SHOPPING

What ever happened to Shumup Ko Hup and it's ethnographic art website www.howka.com?

NOTICE 2007: The Shumup Ko Hup store in Old Town appears to have been closed and reopened under new management. Please CONTACT the howka.com web site or Old Town San Diego Indian store for more information.

NOTICE NOV 2008: The new management appears to have given up on Shumup Ko Hup and closed the store again — the local California Indian artists are suffering in the New Economy...what a great loss this store was for the community.

NOTICE JAN 2009: www.howka.com website was taken down because of the bad California economy — the webmaster has ARCHIVED some of the SHUMUP KO HUP website on KUMEYAAY.INFO for historical purposes.

SHUMUP KO HUP California Indian store (was) owned and operated by San Diego Kumeyaay Indian families, hard working Kumeyaay Indian artists themselves — a Native American owned and operated business.

Webmaster's note:

KUMEYAAY.INFO provides "buy" links to the Shumup Ko Hup website HOWKA.COM and its retail store for good reasons — most keenly realized during the making of my southern Kumeyaay-Paipai documentaries:

Shumup Ko Hup owners, buyers and customers have been encouraging and supporting the southern Kumeyaay traditional arts and crafts — the artists — loyally for more than a decade.

This community of Native American entrepreneurs deserves special recognition and our support for keeping the California Indian arts alive.

PLEASE SUPPORT YOUR INDIGENOUS ARTISTS by buying authentic California Indian arts and crafts directly from the hard working Indian peoples who have proven their deep commitment to keeping the Native arts alive.

••••• KUMEYAAY.INFO, webmaster, Gary G. Ballard, received no compensation from Shumup Ko Hup for KUMEYAAY.INFO site referrals, or for any goods or services bought or sold by Shumup Ko Hup as a result of KUMEYAAY.INFO or HOWKA.COM referrals.
