RECEPTION:
What a joy to find a film that espoused today's ideas on the treatment of American Aboriginals back in 1932. You will find the acting a little over the top but enjoy the scenery and the story line and it will leave you thinking what happened between 1932 and the 1970 before the film industry began to deal with the treatment of the American Indians in an intelligent way.
