His dad was crushed by a tree and his friend shot and killed Little Hawk in spite of him trying to help. He didn't know Little Hawk was helping Jon's father as he is being crushed by this tree. As Little Hawk Dies Leaping Turtle runs as fast as he can back to his village. As he's in utterly confused and in despair he trips over a pricker bush running. It doesn't phase him as all he can think is what happened and how is he gonna explain it to Quickbird, Little Hawks sister. Upon his arrival back to the village he is greeted by Quickbird and asked where is Little Hawk? He couldn't answer. He sat down to catch his breath, and then took a deep breath to tell her what happened. After telling her she wanted to go back there to get him and bring him back. But Leaping Turtle insisted it was to late. Later that day she went after him anyway to set him free. But faintly knowing where she was heading she had to follow the blood From leaping Turtles Prickled body. As she arrived she started to cry. She couldn't take it. As she sat there she said "Fly in Peace Little Hawk". To her his spirit was set free. 

Question 1: Do the characters change by the end?
     Yes. Mostly all the characters grow in some sort of way. From the four boys set on the journey to manhood. To Little Hawk dying. Leaping Turtle having to witness his best friends death. What he felt the author couldn't put into words.

Question 2: Is the ending satisfying?
      No. I would of liked more out of it instead of  Little Hawk dying in the beginning. If he would of stayed through it to the end, even thought the author was still telling it through his eyes. I would've added more characters to the book as in more main characters. As Little Hawk died the book kinda got boring.
