Earnest but evocative, and in moments touching, chronicle of the turbulent childhood of a Cherokee orphan during the Depression.

A compelling, mostly positive story, despite Little Tree's bad luck.

The characters are complex enough to pose important questions, yet the themes are sufficiently straightforward for youngsters to learn and enjoy.

The film spends far too much time around the moonshine still and hypocritical local church at the cost of other, more interesting lessons.
