After setting for twenty minutes in the strong grip of this picture, we unhesitatingly place it among the very best wholly Indian pictures that we have ever seen. It's a big picture, dignified, and shows us Indian justice as exemplified by the trial and sentence of a sub-chief for wrong-doing, alienating the affections of a squaw from her lawful husband, who was apparently a man less valuable to the tribe in every way. The action is so straightforward and logical that it seems, not manipulated but naturally dramatic. What is more, its players impress one as being red, not as being white actors. The photography is very good. It is a first-class picture to entertain and edify. - The Moving Picture World, May 18, 1912
