A few years later, George joins the Confederates; Loana tries to promote peaceful coexistence in the conflict between settlers and Indians. After a battle between the soldiers and the Indians, Loana recognizes the brother among the prisoners and frees him; After talking to her, George realizes the futility of war and the oppression of the native Indians. But it wasn't until Loana's death during the Confederate vengeance that the two sides came together.

criticism

• In “Season 74” on the occasion of the French performance, JM Sabatier praised the strictly anti-racist and highly moral tone of the film and particularly praised a scene in a snake valley, but criticized the inaccuracy with regard to historical care and the drawing of the Indians.

"The film suffocates in overly pathetic scenes ... the booming ending is also mildly effective, but Santini has clearly bitten off more than he can eat."

- Christian Keßler : Welcome to Hell, 2002.
