What culture is that?
Both kids, my daughter included, have been giving me great suggestions for making The Scribe of Irohila turn out better. I've been surprised - their suggestions often center on making the details of the story more closely match the local native indigenous culture and the biology/geology of the forest we live in. That wasn't my original focus because I wrote the novel as a fantasy set in an ancient civilization - not the Karuk culture which is local to us, but something that in my imagination preceded that by millions of years. But I'm happy to see my children have managed to discover a lot of local facts and know more about this area than I realized.#
