Spoiler Alert for 1883 and Yellowstone season 5, episode 13, “Give the World Away”
Taylor Sheridan may have already revealed how the hit Neo-Western show will end, andYellowstoneseason 5, episode 13, just made the Dutton Ranch prophecy more likely. Before Beth (Kelly Reilly), Kayce (Luke Grimes), and even John Dutton III (Kevin Costner) lived on the Yellowstone Ranch, their ancestors made a Northwestern journey from Texas to Montana in search of a better life. The1883 Yellowstonestoryfollows James (Tim McGraw) and Margaret (Faith Hill) Dutton as they travel across the plains to Montana in covered wagons with their children, Elsa (Isabel May) and John (Audie Rick).
AfterElsa’s1883fateends the Duttons' journey, James meets a Crow Elder named Spotted Eagle (Graham Greene), who tells him he can settle in the Paradise Valley, an old Crow hunting area. However, he tells James that in seven generations, his people will rise and take the land back, to which the Dutton replies that they can have it. Families like the Duttons settling in the Western United States contributed to the displacement of Indigenous communities in the United States. However, theYellowstoneprophecy suggests that the Dutton family tree will return the land to its people.

Why The Dutton Ranch Prophecy Is The Best Way To End Yellowstone
1883’s Yellowstone Ranch Prophecy Is A Fitting And Inspiring End
By giving the ranch to the Broken Rock tribe,Kayce can restore his family’s land to Montana’s Native peopleand fulfill theYellowstoneprophecy.

Yellowstone’s Dutton Family Tree Explained (Including 1883 & 1923)
The Dutton Family Tree in Yellowstone comprises characters from 1883, 1923, and Yellowstone, growing with Taylor Sheridan’s Neo-Western universe.
1883’s prophecy is the best way to endYellowstoneseason 5because it would bolster the show’s Native American population within a genre that has traditionally misrepresented the Native populations it includes in its Western stories. For decades, Hollywood misrepresented Native American culture and customs in the media, but empowering representations like those in Sheridan’s works help reverse ignorant misconceptions. The largest piece of land in Montana returning to its people would be the cherry on the cake of Sheridan’s neo-Western, empowering the tribal community and sparking conversations about how it should have been theirs to begin with.
