I just feel like there's a real crackling personality behind that for her to be like, this is not fair.
Well, I can do that while also answering your bigger question, which is like, how do we even know any of this stuff?
So maybe she wasn't funny.
Maybe she was just spunky.
I don't like pick your adjective, but we know things about her personality because they're in those million words of the journals.
like her saying, I want to go see the whale, like Lewis and Clark wrote that down.
So we know that that happened.
And then we can infer as interpreters, as writers, as lovers of history, like what those details mean.
But in terms of her life story, the reason we know that is because it's in the journals too.
And this is also something that's new in my book, that it's not like the outlines of her life story have always been well-known, although now they are getting more contentious.
She grew up
you know, on the sort of between what is now Idaho and what is now Montana in that rocky region, her people had had to move there because other nations like the Blackfoot had more horses and especially more guns.

So they kind of stayed in the mountains most of the year, but then once a year they would go, they needed the skins to like to stay warm.
They needed the, the, the, the fat, they needed stuff that only they could get from the bison.
So once a year they would go out to Three Forks,
And then they would go a little bit past that sometimes.
And they would hunt Buffalo quickly as they could get all the Buffalo products.
They could bison.
Sorry.
