In the record
C. C. Royce’s 1899 schedule records 1 cession of land from Hupa (Hoopa Valley) in 1864: about 90 thousand acres by this atlas’s estimate, counting overlaps once. It came through acts of Congress.
One court case turned on its rights: United States v. Kagama.
Today, Hoopa Valley Tribe, California carries this history, as their own pages or research records say.
Written from the records linked here; open any of them for its sources. This is what the United States’ treaty record says, not the nation’s own account.
