6/10
The final chapter of "The Man Called Horse" series.
17 August 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Triumphs of a Man Called Horse (1982) is about the son of the English man turned native "Man Called Horse". Times are rough for his tribe. The once great warriors are now reduced to a few families. His son Koda is now a man and he knows he must take care of his people. But the white men are coming into their sovereign land. With the ailing "Man Called Horse" unable to make clear decisions, it's up to Koda to do what's right for his people. Make a pact with the white men or risk losing his tribe. What will Koda do?

A fitting end to the series. It was depressing (and realistic) to see the tribe dwindled to such a small number. The end of the plains natives was clearly written on the wall. Survival was important to the remaining few. Richard Harris takes a side step to let rising star Michael Beck take over the starring spot light.

Slightly recommended.
