It's understandable to see at the end recall some of the previous baffling episodes. At the very beginning, the protagonist John Dunbar rode into the territory of the Indians, but survived with the mentality of seeing death. Later, he told the leader that he was going to the frontier in his lifetime, and others thought he was crazy. I also understand why the woman was so afraid of him even though he was both white when he saved the white woman. He probably also understood the other party's fears and her affiliation with the Indian tribe, so he sent her back and didn't stay. And why did the people in the tribe first let her communicate with the white people, she said they take people away-although she was brutally taken away by the Indians when she was a child, and her parents were killed, but she probably experienced it long ago What happened to the protagonist later, including at least the time she was injured and lost her husband.
Thinking of the Indians spoken by Ling 370 were killed, invaded, assimilated by the Americans, and everything including their language was plundered. Forcing children to go to boarding school not to speak their own language would be severely punished and only speak English. As a result, children are reluctant to speak their mother tongue with their parents or even grandparents when they return home, partly because they are brainwashed into thinking that things are uncivilized and dishonorable. Hundreds of their languages have disappeared, and only recently have they started talking about revitalize. There is also settler colonialism vs. extractive colonialism. The former is the assimilation of body, spirit, culture, etc. (as Ruian said, cultural cleansing, deprivation of identity, forced assimilation, and genocide), the latter is the plunder of territories and resources ( Finally, the so-called Indian reservations were forcibly relocated and encircled).
cruelty of history. Hope humans don't make the same mistakes again. But only hope.
