The Hoopa people call themselves Na:tinixwe which means "people of the place where the trails return". Because of the remoteness of the lands inhabited by the Hoopa people, the contact period with non-Indians in this region was much later than other Native people in California and was largely due to the Gold Rush that started in 1849.
