In 1935, an 8-year-old orphaned boy is sent to live in the Tennessee mountains with his grandparents. He doesn't yet know that he is half Cherokee, on his grandmother's side. As he learns about life and the Cherokee "way" from his grandparents, Little Tree's sensitivity to nature and to others grows. The film gains emotional power when Little Tree becomes close to an older Cherokee who tells him about the Trail of Tears. When the government places Little Tree in an Indian school, where he is abused physically and psychologically, the tough issue of the forced assimilation of Native Americans isn't glossed over. This beautifully photographed family film with excellent performances and a gripping story, make this well worth watching with children ages 8 and up. Stars Graham Greene, Tantoo Cardinal, James Cromwell and Joseph Ashton as Little Tree. “Two thumbs up, way up” - Siskel & Ebert |
