Some researchers believe that this practice of making ceremonial clothing contributed to the condor's decline, writing that California Indians killed 700 condors each year.[1][2] A few tribes were known to have killed condors, such as the Miwok, the Patwin and the Pomo (Sacramento Valley and nearby hills) but how many is not known.[3][4][5] Using available information Wilbur writes that "a pre-European loss of condors to Indians might not have exceeded a dozen or so annually."[6] Indians might have contibuted to the decline of California condors, "but their impact was minor except in highly localized situations."[6]
