* The construction workers have every legal right to come in and bulldoze the camp. Ernest and the kids are technically guilty of all sorts of assault with potentially deadly weapons.
** This is something Ernest and the kids don't care about. However, in the case of the miners, they attempt to do so ''over young children'' so no court in the world will convict Ernest and company of doing anything wrong. Let's not even get into the fact that the Chief's granddaughter is challenging it in court.
** Krader himself actually attempts to shoot Ernest in cold blood, in front of dozens of witnesses.
*** Even more so, the ending of the movie shows that a court overturned the Krader contract. The fact Krader attempted to bulldoze the camp while a legal injunction was happening is something that could have sustained a legal challenge (except, again, he lost so he'd have to pay damages for anything he destroyed). However, the fact he attacked children and tried to commit murder means he's going to jail for a very long time.
** Ernest and the kids actually aren't guilty of assault of any kind, and the workers have no legal right to bulldoze. Since the contract was signed under false pretenses, it's automatically null and void (probably how the granddaughter got it overturned so quickly) so Ernest and the kids were just engaging in self-defense against people committing trespassing and actions that at absolute best would still qualify as reckless endangerment.

** Though given the events of the film, Krader's business dealings will likely be subjected to legal review. They may not get their land back, but a hefty cash settlement could be in their future.

* Why can't Moose swim? Given his age, and depending on how long he's been in the detention center, he was likely sent at a young age, before he would have been given swimming lessons.

[[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything They're also fighting against white men here to steal his people's land.]] No wonder he's taking this completely seriously.

* Ernst's dedication to stopping the assault on the camp is certainly helped by his guilt over being tricked. He's TheAtoner for his foolishness in trusting Krader.
