== Reception ==
Reviewer Morgan O'Neal said of the film, "Elijah is a hell of a good family film, a film that should be shown in every public school in the country as soon as it is humanly possible. Elijah should be shown in schools because the film’s real and extremely important message is that Elijah Harper the fostered child who became the heroic man was an inspiration to an entire generation of native and non-native activists."Film Review: Elijah - Morgan O'Neal - 2 October 2007 - First Nations Drum - Retrieved 31 May 2021
