Even after Glass reaches the relative safety of Fort Brazeau, he can't get his mind off revenge. Why not relax a little bit, dude? You just fought a bear, a pack of wolves, and walked and crawled for hundreds of miles. You deserve it a break. Yeah, that's just not Glass's style.

It's only fitting that Glass gives his bear-claw necklace—a symbol of his strength and oneness with nature—to Yellow Horse, who saved his life. That's a massive sign of respect in our book. What's more, the fact that Glass had this bear claw in the first place might be what led Yellow Horse to treat him so well. What do you think?

Like Bridger and Glass, Kiowa Brazeau sees life on the frontier as a learning experience. That actually explains why he and Glass make such fast friends: they love adventure and exploration more than anything else.

Note that Kiowa isn't even telling Glass to stop his quest for revenge—he's merely asking him to put it on hold. Glass has no interest in this advice, however. Now, whether you chalk this up to bravery or just good, old-fashioned foolhardiness, you can't deny that it shows Glass's incredible determination.

This is a perfect illustration of U.S.-Indian relations of the frontier. While there are plenty of individuals who benefit from the increased presence of traders, there are plenty of others whose way of life has been completely upended by this invading force. In other words, this situation is grayer than an old school Game Boy.

Yellow Horse is the only one who realizes that a calamity is about to strike the frontier. Between a rapid increase in trading, the growing presence of the U.S. military, and the continuing assaults waged by the Arikara tribes, the current situation is like a fuse ready to blow at any time. The only question that remains is who's going to drop the match.

Kiowa is one of the few traders who actually make an effort to bring the frontier's various communities together. It doesn't matter if you're a Frenchman, an American, or a Sioux warrior—you can get down with Kiowa.
