KUMEYAAY.INFO Archive, February 2009. Shumup Ko Hup Indian store closed its San Diego Old Town State Park Indian store in late 2007 and took down its beautiful California ethnographic art web site www.howka.com in the Great Recession. The KUMEYAAY.INFO webmaster wishes everyone well and the best of luck to all the hard-working ethnographic California artists who supported their Indian families through the store's sales, cultural events and web-sites promotions. CALIFORNIA INDIAN ARTSHUMUP KO HUP was proudly owned and operated by San Diego Kumeyaay Indian families. We are a Native American owned and operated business. We make, buy and sell only genuine traditional Native American arts and crafts that are handmade by our local Indian aboriginal artists of the greater Southern California area.
