… one of the most prominent and passionate advocates for Native American rights. … [John Trudell] deserves more daring and objective scrutiny than this overly reverent tribute. —Jeanette Catsoulis, The New York Times
By preaching so relentlessly to the choir, this film misses an opportunity to show what got them to sing in the first place. —Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
Despite the rambling finish, however, overall the film is a thought-provoking and graceful portrait of a tenacious peace warrior whose frankness is his greatest weapon. —Erin Meister, The Boston Globe
