Next morning, Grandpa wakes Little Tree to invite him to help harvest corn, then shows him the moonshine still, hidden in the hills where the federal agents can’t find it. With a stern rebuke, Grandpa silences her and escorts the boy to his ramshackle cabin in the Tennessee backwoods, where he tucks him in for the night. As they walk out of town with him, his maternal aunt vociferously objects, demanding that Little Tree come live with her, shouting to Grandpa and Grandma that it is not right that Little Tree grow up with them. They have decided that he will start life over again with them in their Tennessee backwoods cabin. The story starts as nine-year-old Cherokee orphan, Little Tree (Joseph Ashton), comes to a rural Tennessee town at the bottom of the Depression in 1935 to meet his adoptive grandparents, Grandpa (James Cromwell) and Grandma (Tantoo Cardinal). Aesthetically magnificent, morally admirable, but philosophically flawed, THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE presents audiences with a simple, sweet story of childhood innocence co-opted by Cherokee religious beliefs. In THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE, screenwriter Richard Friedenberg turns his attention to the Tennessee backwoods in his first directorial effort following his critically-acclaimed and artistic success in writing about a Montana backwoods preacher’s family in the film A RIVER RUNS THROUGH IT. Thus, by the way it exalts Cherokee beliefs and denigrates Christianity, THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE promotes a false, pagan religion. The Christians in the movie act like hucksters and buffoons, and demean the love and power of Jesus Christ’s salvation. Although Paramount trumpets the message of tolerance which they say lies within the story, THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE actually pushes Cherokee religion. This movie has a gorgeous setting, good acting, good music, and otherwise moral message about self- reliance, racial harmony and love for nature and for one’s family. With great aesthetic beauty, THE EDUCATION OF LITTLE TREE has an exquisite musical score, with lilting violin melodies and haunting refrains set against a magnificent Tennessee mountain backdrop of lovely hills and cloud-filled valleys.
In an eventful year in which he shares the simple joys and sorrows in the lives of his hillbilly, moonshine-brewing white grandfather and loving Cherokee grandmother, Little Tree acquires valuable life experience and learns the Cherokee religion instead of the Christianity of his deceased mother.
