Yes well very said it’s a shame the Native Americans weren’t played by Native American Actors.

[@johnlucier5654]

Yeah whatever. 10,000 years- 10 millennia on this continent, yet no tribe in what would become the United States, had developed a written language for record keeping. This dooms each generation to repeat the mistakes of the past, prevents knowledge of medicine and health, and allows lies to be told as truth. Without the advancements of european colonists you wouldnt even be reading this now, and the lives of native americans are far better off as well. While tribes like the Shoshone could be negotiated with, the fact is by the early-mid 19th century, the Comanche were the dominant tribe of the midwest. They controlled over 2 million square miles of territory, and would ride 1000 miles to kill a white settler family, usually torturing them in horrible ways first, including children and babies. They could not be reasoned with, obviously eradication was the logical plan. Its easy to sit here in the comfort of the 21st century and romantacize the native americans, but its doubtful youd want anything to do with living in a world today where the indians had been left alone on this continent. Death by age 30 from easily curable disease, feast or famine at the whim of the elements, hunting areas to extinction then clashing with other nomadic warring tribes when you moved on. And the horrific tragedy, of no casinos. LOL.

Another truly outstanding episode, with Ben's brilliant assistance, and a (virtually unrecognizable Claude Aikins) coming to grips with pride and prejudice. A wonderful role played by a great acting and great looking Robert Sampson. Wonderful Grjngo -- you're the best! One of the major's faults in reasoning was the comparison of Abraham being WILLING to kill Isaac -- but God stopped him from doing that, because his mere obedience was enough to prove his faith.

[@patbiggam8138]

Yes, and Abraham's obedience has resulted in blessing to all nations of the earth through his seed. Genesis 22:18

[@patbiggam8138]

Also Hebrews 11:17 - 19 verse 19 He (Abraham) considered that God is able to raise men even from the dead; from which he also received him (Isaac) back as a type.

I always thought Claude Atkins was very tall but he doesn’t look it here. If you see him in I Love Lucy on the Hollywood episodes he plays himself in the episode where Ethel and Lucy are trying to get Fred and Ricky to miss the Beaty pageant judging. When they’re stuck on the island and you see Claud Atkins fool Lucy and Ethel that he’s a real ferocious native and carrying Lucy away- you see Claude next to Ricky looking much taller.

10 years and he still had his uniform? I think I would have burned it! Great episode!

[@Howiesgirl]

I had 3 uncles who were in WWII, one in the Korean war, & my father-in-law was in the Vietnam conflict. Every one of them still had their uniforms when they died many years later. Idk if service men/women don't have the same sentimentality these days or not, but I do know that the older generations were quite proud to have served, & would have never even considered getting rid of the uniform they wore so proudly. Many might think "Eh, it's just old clothes, what's the big deal??". But that's not the point. Those pieces of cloth stand for something to them. A time in their lives when they put their fears aside & went off to places they'd never been, to do things they never thought they'd have to do... because their country asked them to. They left families behind, & just went on blind faith. Some got through it, some not. My uncle Tom left his wife & baby daughter, & never came back. His body was never found. He was shot down somewhere over Italy. Only 22, & on his last mission before he could come home for good. My grandma mourned him til she died, at 86 years old. The Navy sent her his dress uniform after he passed. It's still in the family... his granddaughter has it now. I guess we're a sentimental bunch of old softies, lol. Sorry for going on so long. Hope I didn't burn your eyes out with my reply. All the best to you. 🙂

13:40 I just don't understand how the Indians suddenly learned that learn that the colonel was his father? Seems to me that the writers or editors messed that up. We don't see any Indians at the Ponderosa to overhear the conversation. If they were there, how to explain not killing him outside? There was another chance, he 14:40 the son says "there's something that I haven't told you yet" which sounds like he is going to tell her that the colonel is his father. The brave outside could overhear that and then tell the chief. 14:43 it makes no sense that the child would be scared of a member of her tribe at the window. Could make sense if he was in war paint but he's not. It was an excellent story but perhaps got chopped up in the rush to get it filmed. Like at the end he thanks Ben's sons for helping him see the light but I don't recall them playing any significant role or having any poignant conversation with the colonel. So, did a scene get cut? They say a little at 25:00 but, to my view, nothing significant. Maybe if Hoss had stood up and says that he doesn't blame all Indians for that, instead of looking uncharacteristically sheepish.

[@arlineabdalian8974]

Despite the period's stereotypical plot and characterizations, as well as the use of White actors playing Native Americans, this episode is consistent with the series' theme of tolerance. While unsatisfying today, in the 1960s an episode such as this was considered quite daring for its message of anti-racism and pro-intermarriage. A better Bonanza episode in this vein was The Honor of Cochise. Nevertheless, this episode, like most of the series, was well scripted, acted and directed. At the very least, it serves, as do most Westerns of that era, as a historical document on the industry and audience of its period. I am glad, however, that we have progressed somewhat since then.
