"Epic of the noble red-men of the West, spectacular in scope and story. Silent film with music score."
"A Navajo Indian (played by Richard Dix) returns, after serving at the front in World War I, to find the way of life of his people threatened by the tribe's forced removal from its lush reservation to arid desert. Striking images of Western landscapes and the humanity of the portrayal of the Indian as a tragic figure rather than a savage threat to white civilisation brings credibility to the sentimental story. Although ahead of its time in recognising the Indian as victim, the film evades the issue by laying the blame on the villainy of an Indian agent and deferring to notions of Christian redemption. The prologue offers a highly problematic view of history."@en
"The mistreatment of the American Indian is depicted in this sweeping western epic that defies stereotype and questions tradition. Richard Dix wrestles with the coming of the white man and his new order."@en
