And they were like, if you want to understand Koboe and like how he saw the world, read those stories.
Don't read them for the plot.
Read them for the values.
And I mean we do the same thing like George Washington and the cherry tree.
There's a lot of American values in that story too.
So they would help me understand things and they would direct me to sources.
And from that interview, even like they would give me lines, but because I was writing from Kobo's point of view, I could put right into the interview.
Like I asked them about the elk and then the overhunting we were talking about.
And I was like, well, you know, the Klatsop asked Lewis and Clark to be there.
Like, was that like, you know, was that an issue or something like that?
That there's a famous moment where Lewis and Clark, not them, but some of the men kill some elk and go home.
And they're like, we'll come back and get it tomorrow.
And they go back tomorrow and the klatsop have taken some of the elk and some of the skins.
And so that creates a lot of friction there.
But, you know, I asked them about that and I'm like, you know, were the klatsop stealing from Lewis and Clark there?
And the klatsop people that I was Zooming with were like, it's not stealing if it's yours in the first place.
And so I put that line in the book, not because I personally endorsed that line or that interpretation, but because that chapter is written from Kobo's point of view.
And so I'm trying, like, how did he see the world?
How did Lewis see the world and Clark see the world?
And so on.
