She talks about the history of Bates, a classic battleground where the Shoshoni and Arapaho Indians fought. She describes how she gives her characters flaws so they seem more lifelike and appealing to the readers. She discusses her writing tactics and how she decides what to write next. She ends the interview by talking about the differences among the many Native American tribes.
