I learned so much on that, man.
I mean, living in Montana, I got to this cowgirl friend of mine who I met at that ranch had been working with this shaman just outside of Livingston.
And I was telling her I'm playing a guy that kind of raised by Shoshone and all this and like that was kind of where I hung my hat of like if this guy lost his family at six or seven and then adopted or sold to the Shoshone, this is who he is.
He's more Shoshone than he is white.
So I started working with this shaman, which was incredible, and then went down to the Shoshone Reservation, Wind River, worked with the elders there.
It's tough, man, because obviously going there, you're like – and they knew I was coming.
But it's like you're talking to these elders, and it's like we meet five minutes in, and I'm like, so what do you guys do when you bury your wife?
And you're asking these heavy, heavy questions.
That is true meaning behind it all.
So she took a long beat and she's like, I'll get back to you on that.
I'll get back to you on that.
And then I went into this other room.
at the school there and this other elderly woman comes in a wheelchair and she sits there and she's like, what do you wanna know?
And so we just sat there for hours and she was incredibly transparent and just really open.
And I would take all this and go to Pete and be like, listen, if we're gonna, we gotta honor these guys, so let's do it right.
And he was all ears and the Shoshone was very tough to learn.
Yeah, so we'll do two-hour sweats.
