Hawk and Eve lived on the Shoshone land all their lives, they had seven children of their own along with Jane Ann and Matthew. They had even more grandchildren. Through the years, they still had problems with an occasional white person causing trouble. The Indian problems began to solve itself as Mackenzie got control of the Comanche's.

The Shoshone lived out their lives on their land above the Red for many years. Before the turn of the century, they went to the reservations and stayed.

Jinx lived a long and happy life, dying at the age of ninety-two. They buried him on the property. Many of the Shoshone tribe came to live beside Hawk and his family and it did look like a village soon. Little and Fawn had three children, Bear grew up and married and moved to Hawk's land. Matthew grew up, went to college and became a Indian agent, helping to settle land squabbles and tribal problems for the Arapaho nation. Jane Ann became a nurse and lived in her families community all her life, nursing the sick of the village.

Hawk never got back with his real family, but he had a full life in his own village. Hawk and Eve lived to be very old and very comfortable.
