@bennacemenace: Not advancing the story but answering some FAQs! Part 5.5

hellsfavoritedemon🇵🇸 :

I do wonder how the party caught up to Louis and Salvador cause obviously they were in better shape just because they hadn’t gone through all the hardships that the Donner party had and they knew the terrain better I’m assuming so I’m wondering how they ended up getting caught up to

Buffy R Goad :

Absolutely loving your storytelling style. Learning so much I never knew. I did see another creator and sadly I didn't get her name but she mentioned a large group of the women that camped away from main group on the salt flats. Could you maybe expand on that if that's the case?

🦑 ⁶ ⁶ ⁶ :

Me telling my friends about the Donner party after this series

Mary :

Everything about this is significantly worse than I had ever thought

MiraSol Bernal Balaga :

I already felt sad about what happened to those two Native Americans. They seemed to be decent people. You educating us about their culture and their harmonious way of living , makes it sadder, but at the same time, honors their memory.

Em :

This series has been my #1 form of entertainment while being baby trapped feeding my newborn all week

Esqueefies :

It is horrifying that they ultimately didn’t feel right unaliving each other, but werefine with hunting down the only people that came to help them, and unaliving them.

Sarah Wolf's Lore :

Thank you for clearing up the bit about the Wendigo. I have a lot of work to do to learn about separate native cultures and beliefs and stop thinking of them as homogenous

Saltwater spine :

I get really overwhelmed when I think about those two. I cannot imagine how they thought/perceived/felt these people as they watched them spiral. And then when they realized what was happening to them in their final moments

Delaney :

Did people stop using the Hastings cutoff after this? Like did word get around

HEK 🍓 :

you'd probably be really interested in the andes plane crash of 1972 if you aren't already. there's a lot of parallels in their survival stories.

Brittttttttt :

Will you talk about Hastings after this… he lead a group to Central America after the civil war? I found a YouTube video once that showed the modern day descendants and how they celebrate United States southern customs. Idk it was very bizarre

Sunraeflower :

Althea :
