[1] Letter from Craig Bates - 18 November 1997 - "On baskets T484, T485a,b, T486, T487, T488; all of them could as likely be Karuk, Yurok or Hupa, or, perhaps, even Wiyot. I know of no way to differentiate between the baksets of these groups, and elderly weavers I spoke with back in the early 1970s told me the same thing."
