-They tell this story in four parts.
We talk of the very first things there.
Really, when we want to go back to our characters,
we'll still get to know the first people of this river
That's the Nez Perce tribe.
We decided that we're going to need to do a study.
This first country they call this village site, that's all.
This site of human habitation in North America is a Nez Perce site.
And it's right for the Salmon River.
It's thick, 16,500 years old.
It's not over there we know of so far in North America.
And so we thought, all right, let's go talk to the first people of this place.
The first people on this river.
And learn their sense of the river. How did they understand it?
How do they know it?
This um,
This is actually a very special feature.
And you could see it is a national park.
