Yeah, the ending always gets me. But even more, the scene when they are crossing the valley with all the dead buffalo--killed by white men for the sake of their tongues and their hides. The calf bleating for its mother.

The main reason the Plains tribes were, "conquered", was the loss of the buffalo. They used every last speck of one--the meat, the skins for clothing and tepees, sinew for sewing, on and on.
