I thought the ending was a letdown

It was a downbeat ending, but it showed how Fr. Laforgue gradually lost most of his his well-intentioned but grandiose cultural illusions about converting the Amerindians and civilizing them. He ended up just doing the best he could to try to help them and do what he thought best. He was probably questioning his own faith at the end.
