NATIVE AMERICAN OWNED BUSINESS

SHUMUP KO HUP is 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.

SHUMUP KO HUP Indian store and Native American gift shop in Old Town State Historic Park, San Diego, was established in 2000 by Kumeyaay Indians Daleane Dumas-Adams and Eva Salazar on an original idea by Jane Dumas, a Kumeyaay elder, whose long-time dream is to establish active Kumeyaay representations within the California state historic park system.

Jane Dumas named the store SHUMUP KO HUP -- Kumeyaay translation: "Dream Come True" -- based on her visions to preserve and promote the cultural heritage of the California Indigenous peoples.

MISSION STATEMENT

To encourage, promote and support the working traditional Native American Indian Indigenous artists of California, southwestern Arizona, and northern Baja, to assist them with selling their Indian arts and crafts to revive and preserve the ageless cultural traditions of the California Indian aboriginal peoples, including the, Ipai Tipai, Cocopah Cucapa, Kumeyaay Kumiai, Quechan, Mohave Mojave, Paipai, Kiliwa, Yavapai, Hualapai, Havasupai, Maricopa, Serrano, Luiseño, Kawia, Gabrielino, Chemehuevi, Juaneño, and Cahuilla Indigenous peoples.
