When somebody tells you something, sometimes it's something they personally experienced and sometimes it's something they heard from somebody else. How do you tell the difference?

Ahhh I came here for this because I heard about it but don’t remember which language!

I can’t recall for certain but I’m pretty sure at least one of the far northern american languages has it. Like something from Eskaleut or Athabaskan. A quick scroll through their wikipedia pages didn’t help, and I can’t remember the formal name for this feature. If anyone else can chime in, that would be appreciated!
