One of the most interesting aspects of the setting of ATDPTI is that story so far has been set in an Indian Reserve is Spokane, Washington. I found this to be very foreign to me mainly because I haven't actually experienced what these Indian reserves were like. So I thought that one of the most productive things that I could do to better understand the environment of the book is to actually research Indian Reserves and specifically the one in Spokane.
One of the first things that I looked into when it came to the Spokane Indian Reserve is the actual organization of it all. At the current moment, the 2,874 citizens that live there are split among six organizations. There is the Tribal Government, Spokane Tribal Enterprises, Spokane Indian Housing Authority, Wellpinit School District, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Indian Health Services. All of which are government controlled and funded. So far in ATDPTI, I have only seen three of the six sections so far.
