His baby buffalo friend!! Ahhhhh so heartbreaking

Does a great depiction of Montana trying to chug its way into the 20th century and modernity and shed its violent past. The sinking of the titanic symbolizes that folly

What I am is the Indian who can’t die. I’m the worst dream America ever had.

Damn! This and the section in him finding the slaughtered buffalo and the wandering calves. Echoes of butchers crossing again and of the violence of killing the pregnant elk in only good Indians. This is his awakening and the start of his vengeance.

Jones writes anti coming of age stories of Indians. In the only good Indians as well as here we have young men who have a sense of identity but are striving for more amidst a changing world and choose wrongly to betray a part of themselves and hence doom themselves.
