- I'm happy True Feather, that the council of the tribes

of Lake Winnipeg chose you to be part of my escort.

- Actually they didn't have much choice.

I talked the other volunteers out of it,

so I was the only one left.

- Does it mean that much to you?

- I'd have done anything to come with you.

- Just as long as you don't want to do things

by yourself, I'm not sure what you've got in your head.

- If you ask me, that sounds like jealousy talking.

I'm as smart as you when it comes to deciding

what to do, and as far as my head's concerned,

some people think I have a good one.

- Oh now that's good to know.

Let's hope you don't lose it,

and prove your admirers wrong.

- You can make fun of me all you like.

I have plenty of good qualities.

I'm strong, brave.

I'm sure you'll learn to appreciate them.

(laughs)

- Mmmm, I can tell modesty isn't one of your true qualities,

True Feather.

- Do you think we'll run into difficulty on the river?

- Not at all, if we're lucky.

This is the best time of year to travel the river.

(water lapping)

If the Great Spirit protects us

from unfortunate encounters and we keep a good look out,

we should make good time.

- What do you mean unfortunate encounters?

- Small bands of warriors, shunned by their tribes,

roam the banks, robbing anyone they come across.

They're even said to be cannibals.

But there's no need to worry.

They won't attack us.

They can see they're well armed and everyone knows

about our mission.

(eagle cries)

(drumming intensifies)

(water splashing)

(owl hooting)

(mellow music)

- I just thought, the further we go north,

the harder it'll be to live off the land.

- Don't worry, it's still summer, even in the north,

we'll find berries.

- No Pocahontas, he's right,

it'll be more and more difficult.

- I think so too.

From now on, we'll keep our vegetable supplies for you.

- That's very kind of you, but I can't accept.

- Why not, the rest of us can eat fish, roots

and whatever else we can find.

(crickets chirping)

- Ah.

Good morning Mak.

- Good morning.

- If you go find some wood, I'll light a fire.

- Alright.

Hey come on you sleeping heads,

time to get up, I'm out here doing all the work.

Here you are Pocahontas.

- Thanks Mak.

Now I'll make some soup.

- Oh what a great sleep.

Time to get up Yellow Wolf.

That's odd, where are the sacred animals?

I don't know why,

but I have a feeling something bad's about to happen.

- They're probably looking for something to eat.

- What?

No!

Hey, get your weapons, we're being attacked!

(gasps)

(warriors yelling)

(groaning)

- We'll protect you.

(groans)

(groaning)

(groaning)

- Watch out!

(groaning)

(punching)

- Get her!

(eagle screeching)

(yelling)

(roaring)

(speaking in native language)

- No, stop don't follow them!

We haven't come all this way to fight a war.

Oh you're wounded, does it hurt?

- Don't worry, it's nothing, just a scratch.

- Are you sure?

Let me dress it.

- No it's fine.

- We should leave the area as soon as possible.

- Did you hear that Opecanow?

They might come back with reinforcements.

- Yes, they meant business.

- Why did they choose us?

We don't have anything of value, nothing.

Oh you're back and the others?

Thank you for saving us.

I hope you didn't hurt those scoundrels.

(bull bellows)

Good, they'd taken enough punishment.

After all they didn't hurt me and my brothers.

Thank you Great Spirit, for allowing us

to defend ourselves.

For giving us the strength to drive away our enemies,

and win without having to kill.

- Pocahontas.

It's not safe here.

- Let's go then.

(eagle cries)

(ducks squawking)

(stampeding)

(geese honking)

(flute and drum music)

(water lapping)

- What's the matter Pocahontas?

You look so concerned.

- I was thinking about those men who attacked us.

I wonder if there could be someone who wants

our mission to fail.

What do you think Mak?

- The spirit of war and destruction perhaps.

- We have to find out, and soon.

If Mak's right, that means he'll try again and again

until he succeeds.

- Don't worry, we're on a mission for the Great Creator.

He'll make sure nothing happens to us.

- If they attack us again, we must take a prisoner

and make him talk.

Only our enemies know the enemy plan.

- You're right.

- No, we mustn't use violence to find our their plan.

We'll ask for help from all the chiefs

who are waiting for us.

Together we'll solve the mystery.

- It's late, we must find a place to camp.

(eagle cries)

- Here, I'll take that.

- Whoa!

(chittering animals)

Huh?

It's those two little rascals again.

(laughing)

I gotcha!

Huh?

- Come here.

It's alright, don't be afraid.

- Give the little pests to me.

- Calm down, why be nasty to them.

They haven't done anything wrong.

- They shouldn't have been in those skins

in the first place.

- It must've been when we were attacked.

I'm sure they were terrified.

- Pocahontas has a way with animals.

- She likes to mother them and they know it.

- Where's Mak?

- In the forest with True Feather.

They took their weapons.

- Oh.

- We're getting close, I can feel it.

- [Both] Thank you.

Thank you for sacrificing yourself to feed us.

May your soul roam in the eternal forest forever.

- Hey, the hunt was successful.

This was a good place to camp.

- Hey.

There's a village at the foot of the mountain over there.

- How many huts?

- About a dozen.

They're all cone-shaped.

- Did you meet anyone?

- No, as I approached, I could see three or four people,

but as soon as they saw me, they ran into the forest.

They seemed to be afraid of me.

- How many people are there in the village?

- I don't know.

I didn't see anyone else.

I could hear a dog barking, but that was all.

I didn't explore the place.

- It might be the village of the men who attacked us.

- You could be right. - That's a thought.

It sounds like the perfect place to hide after a raid.

We'll just have to keep our eyes open.

If they attack, at least we know we can defend ourselves.

- Don't worry, Pocahontas we can't expect things to go

our way all the time.

- Oh no, the roast is burnt.

Just my luck.

The great Manitou gave us food and we wasted it.

We must find something else to eat

before it gets dark.

- I think the best solution is to go to the village.

- That's no very wise.

We don't know what we'll find there.

- Everyone has the right to receive

the Great Spirit's message.

That's why we'll go there, to convince them

to live in peace with other people, like everyone else.

- I know that's our mission,

but how can you get them to listen to reason?

They're criminals.

- No Opecanow, how can you accuse them of being criminals?

You don't even know them yet.

Maybe they fled here to escape the pale faces.

- Neither one of us knows for sure.

Huh?

- Mak heard a dog barking.

Usually if a tribe has dogs,

it means they're a settled and peaceful people.

It's a risk we have to take.

We're ready to go when you are.

(eagle screeching)

(suspenseful music)

(wolves howling)

- I'm gonna take a closer look, wait for me here.

- No Mak, wait.

We can't go there on a peace mission with tomahawks.

- If they are the men who attacked us,

they'll massacre us if we go there empty handed.

- Messengers of peace don't show up with weapons.

- Then we better not go there at all.

- That would be the easy way out.

Our mission is also to gather scattered tribes

into one nation.

All of you stay here, I'll go alone.

Don't worry, the Great Spirit will protect me

from their arrows.

- If they're not enemies, they'll show themselves.

- Prepare poison arrows.

They'll give us the advantage if they decide to attack.

- Hey Chief, there's a girl coming this way.

She's alone.

- It's a trick Great Chief.

That girl, let's show her we're ready for anything.

(bows tightening)

(pounds ground)

(bows tightening)

- No wait, don't shoot.

Put down your bows.

I want to talk to her to see what she wants.

She wears the peace band.

- Be careful Great Chief.

The warriors who came with her are hiding

in the bushes watching us.

It could be a trick.

- We'll find out.

- Oh Great Spirit, hear my prayers,

help me make them understand your will.

- Oh Manitou, may this girl not make

our distress greater than it is already.

What are you doing on our territory?

- We're heading north to the great cold.

- You must have a special reason for going there.

- We're going to the Inuit peoples in the great north.

- Were you be among those attending the gathering

at the falls of Niagara?

- Yes, were you and your tribe

at the great gathering, as well?

- Yes, but it was almost over when we got there.

Unfortunately we heard about it too late.

Luck has not been smiling on us recently.

All the braves we met while we were there

mentioned the speech given by the daughter

of the great chief of the Powhatan.

- Oh the words of the creator.

- For the rest of my days, I will regret

not having heard those prophetic words

that touched peoples hearts so much.

(laughing)

- Believe it or not, I have been sent here

by the Great Spirit to repeat those words.

(laughs)

- [Chief] Really?

- Yes.

- [Mak] Pocahontas!

- Pocahontas?

- We'll go get our stuff and set up camp here.

- Am I hearing things or are you really Pocahontas,

princess of the Powhatan?

- Yes, I really am Pocahontas.

- I have been blinded by my stupidity.

Please Princess, forgive a poor old man.

- You have no reason to reproach yourself.

- I can't believe it.

It's no trick.

We have the honor of receiving a visit by Pocahontas.

She's a messenger of the Great Spirit.

(fire crackling)

(owl hooting)

You will need stronger canoes for the trip north,

so take two of ours.

- Thank you Great Chief.

- It's the least we can do.

We must thank you for visiting us.

- It was a pleasure.

May the Great Spirit protect you.

- Farewell Pocahontas.

- It's as if the sun revolves around the earth up here.

- Amazing isn't it.

It hardly ever sets this time of year.

(laughs)

- It must be some kind of magic

that keeps it up there so long at a time.

- You better get use to it.

In the far north it's up there in the middle of the night.

- Maybe the days will be longer, True Feather,

but the sun can't shine in the middle of the night.

If it did, it wouldn't be dark.

- You better wait 'til you see it for yourself.

- Stop it, both of you, this discussion is going nowhere.

I'm sure we'll see lots of new things along the way.

(water lapping)

(eagle cries)

- At this rate, we'll reach the Great Slave Lake tomorrow.

- I can't wait to see it.

Isn't this beautiful country Mak?

- Yes, but nothing is as beautiful as you.

(laughs)

- We should stop somewhere to find water.

- Well let's stop right now.

It'll be nice to take a walk.

- Head for the bank Opecanow.

- Look, just what we need, a pool of fresh water.

(water splashing)

You drink first True Feather.

- Thanks but Mak should be first.

- No no no go ahead, Pocahontas gave it to you.

It's your lucky day.

(growling)

(ceramic shattering)

(gasps)

- Stay where you are. - Be careful!

- This is my job.

(growling)

(groans)

- Something's happened to Pocahontas, come on!

(growling)

(animals roaring)

(zapping)

- Pocahontas, are you alright?

- I'm fine.

- The sacred animals saved us again.

(roaring and bellowing)

- I was very frightened,

but the Great Spirit made sure the bear didn't hurt us.

I wonder why it decided to attack?

(running footsteps)

- What happened?

- We were attacked by a bear.

The sacred animals came to the rescue again.

- An evil force made it act like that.

(water splashing)

- The wind is getting colder and colder.

- Look, there are people waiting for us in canoes.

- You're right, they look like Inuit to me.

(flute and drum music)

- We are very glad to see you here Pocahontas.

It is a great honor to welcome the messengers

of the Great Spirit.

- Thank you for your kind words.

We are glad to be with you.

- When they received word that you were coming,

people from all the tribes in the far north

gathered here to greet you.

(cheering)

Please follow us.

(cheering)
