    A rather pretty and interesting Indian offering which contains much scenic merit. The plot follows the lines of many other Western pictures; treachery induced by greed of gold leading to murder, false accusation, etc. The Indian police figure prominently in the development of the plot. The real Indian actors deserve credit for their natural work, as do the others in the cast. Rex Downs makes a memorable fall from a runaway horse. It will please. - The Moving Picture World, March 7, 1914
