Re: MtMan-List: Canadian Cap & rabiit fur

[jbrandl@wyoming.com (Joe Brandl)]

Some natives may have used rabbit for linings, but I find it hard to
believe that given almost any other type of fur or hide, that rabbit would
of been used much. Wild rabbit skin are paper thin, the fur mats easily,
thus loses insulation quality, take a lot of rabbits for a blanket.
Exception were the southwestern tribes that wove blankets with rabbit
skins.
