TRADITIONAL COMBINATIONS OF COLOR IN CAPS
Were there colors favored by certain tribes? Traditionally Karuk weavers probably made more red caps since woodwardia grows in abundance along the streams farther up the Klamath and is
not usually available along the coast (fig. 18). Nevertheless, there were many red caps woven by Hupa and Yurok basketmakers as the illustrations in O'Neale's book reveal. Trading of
materials, intermarriage between tribes, dancing in each other's dances, and other factors ensured the quick recognition and spread of any innovation from one region to another.
