I'm afraid I disagree with the idea that Ethan was out to save his niece despite her unwillingness to be saved. I think the movies main theme of racial prejudice by both the Europeans and Amerinds does not support the notion of Ethan saving her. Marty realizes Ethan's goal is to "save" Debbie by killing her, hence his determination to stay with the pursuit. (submitted by Dean Cramer)
