I find this assessment almost breathtakingly offensive. He was a hero among his people in his prime and certainly fed many with his hunting prowess. That his life ended in tragedy does not obviate its value nor the significance of his earlier accomplishments. Heck, simply enduring an injury like his and finding a way to continue productively despite diminished capacity is worthy of admiration.
"So all of Short Kwi...amounted to nothing?" That is a blindingly ignorant assessment. Her own view on death is that we return to molecules knowing nothing. Her powers of observation and recall are impressive but her summation and conclusions are not.
