getting 13 chapters into a fic and then noticing the author made a historical fact error and it would be fine if it wasn’t something you had already hyper fixated on

#magpie chirps #not gonna make a comment about it but #wampum is from the eastern woodlands tribes the Wampanoag being the most famous for it #and quahogs didn’t exist out in the plains lmao #i suppose the argument could be that it was traded but we don’t have evidence that the trade system would have allowed it to go that far #west in the 1800’s #it’s such a small thing but plains Indians had cool art and jewelry too!! #you didn’t have to make the necklace a wampum necklace!!
