- W. Richard West, National Museum of the American Indian, Smithsonian Institution
- “They Say the Wind Is Red represents the successful effort of the MOWA Choctaw to articulate their own history. This development pleases all of us who believe in the place of American Indians in American History.”
- Virginia Pounds Brown, Southeastern Indians expert and author of The World of the Southern Indians
- “I found They Say the Wind Is Red moving and convincing.”
- From the foreword by Vine Deloria, Jr., author and advocate for Native American affairs
- “Very impressive ... [gives] a good understanding of the history of these people.”
- Midwest Book Review
- “An invaluable addition to the growing library of Native American Studies, They Say the Wind is Red is a very highly recommended history of pride, love of land, danger, and a people's determination to endure and preserve their way of life in spite of severe and enduring hardships.”
- Dr. Greg Waselkov, director of the Center for Archaeological Studies, University of South Alabama
- “Jacqueline Matte makes a compelling case for the historical origin of the MOWA Choctaws in her book, They Say the Wind is Red, although the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs inexplicably still denies them federal recognition as an Indian tribe.”
