I believe that is a Modoc style bow.  The Modocs were a tribe from the northern California / southern Oregon area.  Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

It's going to look like any West Coast bow to the average archer with a bit of knowledge. Let's wait until an expert comes along and hold off on naming random tribes who shoot similar bows.

Bay Area bows were the miwok hook nocked sinew backed cedar or California nutmeg from trade. They also used self bows of bay and oak with pin nocks. North of the bay was the sinew backed yew paddle bow. The seperation was there between the Pomo north and Bay Miwok south
