He does, but he's not happy about it.

Young Eli is hunting buffalo when he hears a gunshot.  He runs to the sound and finds a herd of buffalo shot and being skinned by whites. He sets up a ruse to the Rangers dressed as a white man. The guys invite him to be part of their camp, but it's an ambush and the Comanche kill all the men and take the buffalo and horses. There's a woman who's alive. The Comanche have prisoners....the woman and the leader of the group.

Toshaway gives young Eli a tomahawk.  The man who survived is tortured. The woman is still alive and young Eli tries to talk to her. Her name is Ingrid. She tells him her story. Young Eli admits to the girl that he led them to her camp. She's not happy and pushes him away.
