« Having cast herself in both of the parts [in The Girl from God's Country, Nell] Shipman's personal sympathy was with the 'half-breed' girl [Neeka]. One sign of this affinity may be that Shipman had made the blonde Marion character a member of a hunting party, and we know how the scenarist felt about that particular sport. [...] In addition, the Neeka character seems to have been the heroine of the story in terms of morals as well as of narrative agency: an honest girl with guts, performing sensational acts of stamina and bravery for the sake of others and being rewarded for it with romantic love. »
