(chanting)

- Great party, wouldn't you say?

(laughing)

- [Pocahontas] Yes, too bad we have to leave.

- I could use a little more soup.

What about you, Pocahontas, do you like the soup too?

- I think it's delicious, I'll have some more.

- I hope you will never forget our corn and chestnut soup.

- Don't worry, Great Chief,

we'll never forget your village or your soup.

- Enough soup talk.

Winter is approaching, especially on the mountains.

- Thank you for the warning.

What difficulties are in store for us, Great Chief?

- We have already sent a messenger ahead

to tell the Shoshone that you are coming.

The Grand Council of Chiefs has appointed a brave

to accompany you on your journey.

He is young, experienced, and courageous.

One day he will be a great chief.

His name is Little Fox.

I will introduce you to him tomorrow.

Tonight, he must undergo a purification ritual.

- Did you say something?

- Hmmm.

- [Moc] Pocahontas should know that I lost the power

to talk to the animals,

and that you don't communicate with the spirits any longer.

- Don't be upset.

You know that one day it will all come back to us.

- Think so?

- Uh-huh.

- Anyway, I can tell you I miss it.

I used to enjoy bragging with them.

- That figures.

As the Iroquois say, those who look alike

tend to stick together.

- Yeah, so you won't be able to compete with us

until you're as clever as they are.

- I gave up trying when I hit my third birthday

in order not to put the other kids to shame.

(laughing)

- Please tell me something.

Do those two bicker like that all the time?

- No, don't get them wrong.

They're only behaving like that because

they want to know if they'll have their archery lessons

with me or with Siwa.

(laughing)

- Don't mind them, Eiswa.

Teasing each other all the time

is their idea of fun.

It keeps them on their toes.

(laughing)

(peaceful music)

- Pocahontas, this is Little Fox,

the brave who will accompany you.

- A pleasure.

- The pleasure is mine, Pocahontas.

I've heard the chief speak so much about you.

- Because I bring a message from the Great Spirit.

- Of course.

- I must admit that we are very worried

about you and your team.

We call our mountains the Death Mountains.

It is dangerous to cross them.

The palefaces christened our land California,

and these mountains, Sierra Nevada.

- But now we have Little Fox to guide us.

We will cross the mountains safely, I'm sure of it.

- I hope you're right.

Good luck.

Have a safe journey, Pocahontas,

and may the Great Spirit protect you all from danger.

- Why are they called the Death Mountains?

- Because halfway up, a steep cliff

has killed many people trying to cross it.

Luckily I know a safe way through.

- There's snow up there on the peaks.

Will it snow down here, too?

- You can never tell.

Let's hope not.

- This soup will give us strength.

- Smells great, too.

- We must thank the Miwok for this soup.

- You're right, Hopi-Ho.

The people of the Miwok village were very kind to us.

(owl hooting)

- What was that noise?

(gasping)

- Oh, hello, Owl.

It's a long time since I saw you.

And you're here too, little ones.

I wasn't expecting such a lovely surprise.

I missed you.

(suspenseful music)

(hooting)

- It's snowing up there.

Why don't you ride on the buffalo's back?

Here she comes, Pocahontas.

- Oh, yes.

- Here we are.

Hopi-Ho's had a bright idea for once.

- What about you?

Nice of you to go get her.

- What are you saying?

We just happened to run into each other.

- Will you help me get on her back, Moc?

(squawking)

I wonder why he's behaving like that.

- I don't know, Pocahontas.

- Quick, undercover, it's going to snow!

- Where are the sacred animals?

(gasping)

- It looks like they disappeared.

- That's impossible!

- A very bad sign.

- We must find shelter, otherwise anything could happen.

But first we have to reach the crest of the mountain.

- That crest?

It's too far away.

It's no good, we'll never make it.

- Yes we will, but the climb will require

great courage, Pocahontas.

- We have lots of that.

- [Little Fox] Come on, then.

(gasping)

(wind howling)

(gasping)

- It's an avalanche!

(shouting)

Run for it!

Quick, under the ledge!

(somber music)

- We're still alive.

- Looks like it.

(laughing)

- The path is blocked, we can't get through.

(squawking)

- There is a solution.

We found a shelter not far from here.

Follow me.

(sighing)

- Come join us, Pocahontas.

Pocahontas!

What's the matter?

(laughing)

- Thank you, you are all so kind.

You see, once again, the sacred animals saved us.

(laughing)

- The sun! - The sun is out again!

- Now we know what the view's like from up here.

(laughing)

- We've made it through the mountains at last,

thanks to Little Fox.

- Little Fox?

What happened to him?

Did he get lost?

- Look, there he is!

- I took the wrong path because of the fog.

You must have taken a shorter way.

But the most important thing is,

we all made it this far.

The Paiute made canoes for us to use

on that river down there.

- Goodbye, good luck!

(squawking)

- [Hopi-Ho] You look cold, Pocahontas.

You want my cape?

- I have my own.

See?

- Take care, there are rapids ahead.

- Watch out!

(suspenseful music)

- Pocahontas!

- [Pocahontas] Little Fox!

- I'm coming!

- Pocahontas?

Pocahontas?

You're alive!

- Thanks to you.

- Pocahontas.

Pocahontas, Pocahontas, wake up.

- You all right?

- Yes.

- [Pocahontas] And the canoes?

- Pocahontas.

(thunder crashing)

- What's happening?

I'm not on the earth.

(gasping)

Oh, I'm falling!

Oh, Great Spirit, help me.

I must wake up.

(haunting music)

- Pocahontas!

I just saw a group of demons out there on the riverbank.

- Is this your idea of a joke?

- Go see for yourself if you don't believe me.

- Yes, you bet I will.

Hopi-Ho, you better stay here with Pocahontas.

- I think we should go too, Hopi-Ho, don't you?

- I've never seen animals like those before.

They're monsters.

Let's get away from here, and fast.

- What?

(gasping)

(whinnying)

- They're just horses.

I'm positive they're horses.

There's no reason for us to be afraid.

- I've seen them before, and I swear that when they run,

they're as fast as the evening wind.

- These animals belong to the Spanish palefaces

who live further south.

- Now I remember.

I see them sometimes in my dreams.

What's wrong?

I want to say hello to them.

I'm sure they're not dangerous.

- What are you saying?

They might turn ugly when you get closer, and then what?

- Don't be silly.

They're probably as curious about us

as we are about them.

You're just like the ones I see at night in my dreams.

Look at how affectionate and gentle they are.

Isn't it wonderful?

- And you thought they were a bunch of demons.

Shame on you.

You were scared, that's all.

- So they're not dangerous,

but does anybody know what the palefaces use them for?

- [Hopi-Ho] They ride on their backs.

- Have you seen them do it, Hopi-Ho?

Can you show us how the palefaces ride them?

- Well, I know it's not easy.

- So what does that mean?

We can do whatever the palefaces do.

- Little Fox is right.

What are we waiting for?

(laughing)

(whinnying)

(laughing)

- Oh, Moc, are you all right?

- Well, that's what I call a great demonstration.

Now we know what not to do.

Thank you, Moc!

(laughing)

- If you think it's so funny,

how come you don't try it yourself, Hopi-Ho?

(laughing)

- I have an idea.

Pocahontas, wait here.

I'm gonna get something, I'll be right back.

- Well, I hope you know what you're doing.

(laughing)

(sighing)

Don't be so headstrong.

Be patient.

Hopi-Ho will be back soon.

(laughing)

(gasping)

What's taking Hopi-Ho so long?

- There we are.

It's more or less what I saw the palefaces using.

- You're so clever, Hopi-Ho.

- [Hopi-Ho] What do you say?

Think it'll work?

- I hope so.

You did it!

- If this works, we can teach the others.

(gasping)

(lighthearted music)

- Whoa, slow down!

- You're a natural.

- You know something?

It really feels like he's obeying me now.

It's amazing.

What do you think, Hopi-Ho?

(cheering)

- Look, over there!

- What a great sensation.

I feel like I'm flying through the air.

(cheering)

- [Hopi-Ho] These horses must have escaped

from a Spanish camp.

They'll be of great help to us.

- Yes, you're right, Hopi-Ho.

It's the Great Spirit looking out for us again.

He must have put them on our path.

(cheering)

- Whoa, whoa!

- Did you hurt yourself?

- The seat came loose.

(laughing)

I see a man on horseback.

- What?

- I am Red Owl.

I belong to the Pierced Nose tribe.

I have been sent by my tribe and the Shoshone

to accompany you to the meeting place.

- Welcome, Red Owl.

Thank you for coming to meet us.

- Our tribes have been waiting

impatiently for you, Pocahontas.

- I'm surprised to see your horse is so well-equipped.

Why is that?

- A great chief from the south took four horses

from the Spanish palefaces and gave one to my friend,

Thundering Falcon, son of the great Shoshone chief.

We hope to get more soon.

Our warriors can cover great distances on horseback.

What about you?

Where did you get your horses from?

- They were waiting for us

after we came across the mountains.

We think they're a gift from the Great Spirit.

- Yes, a gift from the Great Spirit.

- I believe our people should have more and more horses,

don't you agree?

- Yes, I'm sure they will be excellent companions

for braves from all the tribes.
