Answer and Explanation:

The most important theme is the importance of the community in an individual's life. This is because when Saul faces a very traumatic moment in his life, he decides to isolate himself and leave alone, however over time he recognizes that this was not a good idea, as he misses the community where he lived, because in his community, people helped each other and were companions of each other and this is very important for the development of the story.

With this theme, the author shows that no one can overcome their traumas alone and that it is important to ask for and receive help from other individuals whenever necessary. This is interesting because we can associate this theme in real life and not devalue the companionship of the people around us, even when we think we would do better on our own.

"Indian Horse" is a story written by Richard Wagamese, where we met Saul Indian Horse, a boy member of the Ojibway tribe. In this story he recounts all the moments of prejudice and intolerance that he faced, mainly in school and away from the community where he lived. This is a story of recognition and finding your true self and your recognition with his people.
