Hoilkut

Hoilkut, or Whilkut, was the Hupa name for people of the upper Redwood Creek country in northwestern California. They lived in the creek's valley and the neighboring Bald Hills, west of Hoopa Valley, with related communities along the Mad River. Their speech was a variety of Hupa, belonging to the Athabaskan family. Redwood forests and steep river valleys shaped their homeland, which lay between the Hupa on the Trinity River and peoples nearer the Pacific coast.
