(peaceful music)

- Good morning.

- Where have you been, what time is it?

- I went fishing, to catch us some breakfast.

- Thank you Mok, but we have all the food we need.

- A warrior can't survive on fruits and nuts.

I woke up in the middle of the night dying of hunger.

- Listen Mok, I appreciate the thought,

but we'll have berries for breakfast.

- Suit yourselves, but I need something more substantial.

The smell makes my mouth water.

- Before we set out on this journey,

Pocahontas and I agreed we'd only eat vegetable foods,

partly as a form of sacrifice,

and partly to eliminate any form

of aggressiveness in ourselves.

- When the soul and shadow leave a person's body,

they're reclaimed by mother earth to nourish the plants.

The plants in turn nourish animals and people.

And the circle of life is complete.

I've always respected this principle,

that's contained in the sacred laws of our nation.

There, breakfast is ready.

You two can do what you like

but I have no intension of seeing good food go to waste.

- You're right Mok, it's the circle of life.

But both of us have made a pledge,

and we have no intension of breaking it.

- That's no problem, just means more fish for me

and more fruit for you.

- Then everybody's happy.

(laughing)

(peaceful music)

- Look at you.

(peaceful music)

(growling)

(peaceful music)

It's so beautiful here.

Fir trees, maple trees, every kind of tree.

- Look there are even cherries over there.

- Let's stop and pick some Hopi Ho.

- We'll lose Mok if we do, he doesn't realize we've stopped.

- He never seems to rest.

- Right the Mahicans have the reputation

of doing everything twice as fast as everybody else.

Even walking in the woods.

- Ah there's nothing better than the air up here.

It's so wonderful to be close to home again.

(laughing)

It's these mountains and valleys that give we Mahicans

our zest for life.

(peaceful music)

Look this is the land of my people.

The land of the Mahicans.

Our hunting grounds stretch as far as the eye can see.

- What marvelous country.

(peaceful music)

- If we make a small detour,

we can spend the night in my village.

What do you say Pocahontas?

- No that's out of the question,

we'll waste too much time.

- What's the difference?

- You know we're on a mission.

- I'm a stones throw from my village

an I can't stop in, I don't know the custom of your tribe

but in mine it's the majority vote that counts.

- So we keep going, two against one.

- Shame on you.

You never lose the opportunity to argue about something.

I know you belong to different nations

and have different characters,

you both have so many good qualities,

so why can't you learn to accept each other

and work together?

How can we expect people to live in harmony

when we can't ourselves?

Mok, wait come back here.

You mind tellin' me where you're going

without saying goodbye?

(laughing)

- You won't get rid of me that easily,

I want to see what you think of Niagara Falls.

(laughing)

I've changed my mind, you're right Hopi Ho,

my village can wait.

- I hope you mean it Mok.

It's so hard to tell if you're joking

or if you're serious.

(laughing)

We're delighted to have you with us,

but if you make me angry,

if you start playing stupid tricks again, I'll-

- I don't play stupid tricks, you watch what you're saying.

- Look, fight if you like but I'm leaving.

Catch up with me when you're threw.

- No no wait.

- Pocahontas.

- We've been walking for days without seeing a soul,

don't you find that strange Mok?

- At this time of year, everybody moves up into the hills

for the maple syrup harvest.

(peaceful music)

- Are we still in Mahican territory?

- No we've just crossed the border

into Iroquois territory.

(peaceful music)

- You're deluding yourselves if you think

you can talk peace to the Iroquois.

- Why?

- Because the Iroquois,

are only interested in making war.

They fight all the people who live around them.

They used to fight among themselves too

but a few years ago they created a confederation.

- Do you mean the league of the five nations?

- Yes, exactly, now they're more powerful than ever.

(peaceful music)

they're constantly on the war path

against our brothers the Huron, the Eerie

and the Susquehanna.

And they won't stop until they conquered all the territories

that border on their own.

I know you have a mission but in my opinion

you're wasting your time talking to tribes like the Iroquois

- Oh, the great spirit has ordered us

to talk to all the peoples.

- Suit yourselves, now enough of that,

it's so hot I'm dying to take a swim.

Join me.

- I don't know about Hopi Ho but I love to swim.

(peaceful music)

(coughing)

Cant you swim Hopi Ho?

- I forget I come from a region that has no water.

(peaceful music)

- The water's great huh?

- Take my hand.

- I wanna stay in some more.

(peaceful music)

(purring)

- Oh.

(laughing)

- Oh oh.

(peaceful music)

(whistling)

- Good bye little bird.

(peaceful music)

My feathered friend gave me some interesting news.

- Really, what did it say?

- Actually she's a she.

- Just answer the question.

- Will you relax, apparently there's a whole bunch

of people heading north.

- So that's why there's no one around.

- Maybe, she also told me there are a lot of vegetables

growing around here, onions and.

- That is interesting news,

but there's no one to give us anything.

- I told you they're all heading north.

Which means there's no one around to object

if we help ourselves.

- For once I agree with you Mok.

We won't be stealing, the fruits of the sea

and the ground belong to all living creatures.

- The great Hopi Ho has spoken.

- And the great Mok has spoken too.

(laughing)

- Why don't we go look for some vegetables?

(peaceful music)

(suspenseful music)

- There's nobody here.

- Mok was right.

- Look a whole field of melon,

and they're ripe too.

There are potatoes, carrots, beans.

(peaceful music)

It's late, it'll be dark soon, I'll go set up camp.

On the riverbank.

(peaceful music)

- There you are.

- Thanks.

(peaceful music)

(suspenseful music)

- Move in.

(suspenseful music)

- Wake up, wake up.

(gasp)

(suspenseful music)

- What are you doing on our territory?

(gasp)

We kill people who trespass on our lands.

- Put down your weapons, we come in peace.

- If that is true why is there a Mahican with you?

- We each represent a different nation.

We mean no harm.

- We'll let you two go, but the Mahican stays with us.

- No he wears the peace band.

- There can never be peace between the Mahicans

and the Iroquois, he must die.

- No.

(suspenseful music)

(growling)

- That's enough puma stop.

(growling)

as long as you continue to attack the Mahicans,

you force them to defend themselves.

Why can't the Mahicans and the Iroquois

live in peace together?

Why do you always have to hate each other?

- I don't know it was always like that.

- Well it's time that things change.

Why don't you come with us to the great gathering

of the tribes at Niagara Falls?

What do you say?

Once you're there you can discuss

the problem with your people.

- You're going to the gathering too?

Many people on their way there

have already crossed our lands.

- We're going to the gathering to deliver a message

from the great spirit.

- The chief of our tribe is on his way to the gathering too.

- Hey you dropped your knife, you should be more careful.

Allow me to introduce Pocahontas, the daughter

of the Chief Powhatan.

And he is-

- If you don't mind I'll introduce myself.

My name's Mok of the wolf tribe.

- He's the son of, the chief of the Mahicans.

- Yellow wolf is sorry for what happened.

- Oh did something happen, I hadn't noticed.

(laughing)

This is Hopi Ho, his father is chief of the Hopi nation.

- I am Yellow Wolf, I belong to the Falcon tribe

of the Sinica people.

The path to the Niagara falls is long and dangerous.

Allow me to escort you there.

- Sorry pal, they don't need you they've got me.

- Don't forget you're in Iroquois territory,

we eat braves like you for breakfast.

- No Mok, don't do it.

- How many days will it take,

to get to the falls?

- Five if the Mahican doesn't slow us down.

- It make take you five days

but a Mahican can do it in three.

- If you two don't stop bickering

we'll never get there.

(peaceful music)

- Let's go.

(peaceful music)

- Will you please try to control yourself Mok,

we're on a peace mission don't forget.

- Sorry.

(peaceful music)

- We'll get there in two days at this speed.

(peaceful music)

- The whole world knows the Mahicans

are faster than the Iroquois.

- You know there was an old warrior in our village

who used to tell us no matter how fast

you run through the forest,

look out there'll always be a Mahican behind you.

- You're old warrior was wise,

he was trying to tell you that the Mahicans never give up.

- You don't mean give up, you mean catch up.

- Why don't we both give up.

(laughing)

We're going to take a rest, why don't you find the others.

(peaceful music)

- That's amazing, I could swear it understood what you said.

- All animals can understand me.

- Oh really, you'll have to introduce me.

(laughing)

- Oh uh.

- What are you looking at?

This necklace, here be my guest.

- No no I can't I was just curious that's all.

- Come on it's a gift.

It'll seal our friendship.

Come on, I'll be offended if you refuse.

- No really I-

- I won't take no for an answer, keep it.

It's yours now, wear it,

do anything you like with it.

Ah they've caught up with us.

(peaceful music)

- Why did you leave us behind?

- Sorry we acted like fools, anyway we made peace.

- I'm so glad.

But what happened to Mok,

why is he staring at that necklace like that?

- Because I'm in a very embarrassing situation.

- Why?

- A friend just gave me this beautiful necklace

an I don't know what to do.

- Why don't you wear it?

It looks magnificent to me.

- The great Nanatu has warned me

that if I don't give it to you,

he'll turn me into a pillar of stone.

So please take it, otherwise I won't be able to move.

- Oh.

- Mok looks like he's lost his mind.

You better take it quick.

- Thank you.

(peaceful music)

- I knew it, it looks perfect on you.

- I don't believe your story about Nanatu Mok.

But thanks anyway.

- I'm not the one you should thank.

It's Yellow Wolf.

- Oh no.

I gave the necklace to Mok.

I don't deserve your thanks.

(laughing)

I was given the necklace by some pale face fur traders

known as english.

- Pale faces.

In any case I thank both of you for this marvelous gift.

- Well thank Yellow Wolf more than me.

(laughing)

(suspenseful music)

- That's a strange looking plant,

I've never seen it before.

- Its wild rice.

- Oh can you eat it?

- Yes but its very unusual to see it here.

Usually it only grows in warm humid climates.

In these parts it's too cold in the winter

and not humid enough in the summer.

- Really what do you eat normally?

- Sometimes we go hunting.

But normally we eat what we call the three sisters.

Corn, beans and squash.

Nature gives us everything we need.

- Pocahontas and I don't eat meat.

(peaceful music)

- Are you thirsty Pocahontas?

- Yes I'd love something to drink.

What's that?

- Maple syrup, try it, it's great.

Here, it's sweet but very thirst quenching.

Go ahead try it.

- You're right it's delicious.

- This is the season for it.

The trees are tapped every year.

And there's a big party when it's over.

(peaceful music)

- Tell me something Yellow Wolf,

do all the Iroquois wear belts like yours?

- Yes look, each symbol represents

a tribe of the five nations.

We are all united in the name of peace and brotherhood.

Under the symbol of the eagle perched on the fir tree.

It's on the lookout night and day

making sure that nobody breaks the peace.

- That's really interesting.

Oh look, what's that water?

- That's lake Eerie, come on.

(peaceful music)

We have to cross it to get to the gathering.

(peaceful music)

- Can't even see the other side.

(peaceful music)

- Come on this is no time to rest.

- But how are we gonna get across?

- Look Yellow Wolf's warriors have found canoes.

- Come on we're going by canoe from here.

(peaceful music)

- Hey this canoe is really easy to paddle.

- Yes and they're really reliable too.

But other tribes have canoes that are even faster.

(peaceful music)

- This is a real amazing place,

I never saw such interesting scenery.

- You're right Hopi Ho, isn't it lucky we met Yellow Wolf?

- Ah.

(laughing)

- You were afraid huh?

- Whew, you know this is the first time

I've ever been in a canoe.

- You're doing very well for a beginner.

(dramatic music)

(cheering)

- My people have gathered to welcome you Pocahontas.

- What'll they do when they see there's a Mahican with you?

- Don't tell me you're afraid, Mok the great warrior?

- Don't worry Mok, all the tribes are here.

Your friends the Algonquin will protect you.

(laughing)
