- See where the eagle is perched, Pocahontas?

That's a good omen for our messengers.

The council of chiefs

has decided to send ambassadors

to all the tribes that you're going to visit

so that your journey will be as easy as possible.

- I'm very grateful

for everything you're doing for me.

- It is The Great Spirit whom you should thank.

(bird calling)

Come, you must be on your way.

(children laughing)

Hey, calm down.

- You'll be a great warrior one day.

Your parents will be proud of you.

(children laughing)

- You must prepare well for your journey, my child.

- Pocahontas, Eiswa and Moc drawing up a map.

They're planning the best route for us to take.

We start from here.

Heading west past the great lakes

and turn north and keeping going

until we reach the ice fields.

Then make or way south through the mountains

before the August moon.

- All that way before the August moon!

- [Man] Yes.

The tribes in the vast northern territories

live far apart and gather only in the month of August,

following the migration of the wildlife.

(giggles)

- It's going to be a long, difficult journey.

The sooner we leave the better.

(giggles)

- Look at those little thieves!

You want us to die of hunger?

Get out of there or I'll hang you up

by your tails!

(laughing)

- Don't be afraid little chipmunks.

- [Wandering Spirit] You're leaving?

- Yes, it's time for us to go.

- You must waste no time

if you want to achieve your aim.

- You are right, Wandering Spirit.

Your advice is always to be treasured, thank you.

- Good luck.

May The Great Spirit go with you.

- Thank you.

(sobbing)

- [Wandering Spirit] May The Great Spirit

watch over you, Pocahontas.

(gentle flute music)

- Looks like there's a storm coming.

(wind blowing)

(thunder crashing)

(thunder crashing)

- They'll be safe here

but we must keep going.

(thunder crashing)

- Look out!

(gasping)

Run, run!

Yellow Wolf.

- [Pocahontas] Is anybody hurt?

- No, thanks to them.

- [Pocahontas] My sacred animals.

- [Man] Pocahontas, hurry!

I found a cave where we can shelter.

It's large enough for all of us!

- [Pocahontas] Let's go.

- Look at that, it's really deep.

(bird calling)

- That storm exhausted me. - Yes,

I could sleep for a week.

- Like a baby? - Yes.

(laughing)

- You know I can hardly believe

what happened at the tree.

Pocahontas,

where do your animals get their mysterious powers from?

- [Eagle] She doesn't know, Moc.

The Great Spirit gave us our powers

so we could protect her.

- Why are you so astonished?

According to legends, animals have always

lived and spoken with people, isn't that right?

- Yes, the clan still have the power of speech.

- Yes, yes.

- But the only reason I can speak to you in this form

is because Moc belongs to my clan.

Only the eagle has the power to take on

whatever form he wishes.

(dramatic music)

(roaring)

- [Wildcat] And we all transform into giants.

Or into tiny ants.

- Oh Great Spirit, we are infinitely grateful

for the help and protection

you see fit to give us.

- [Buffalo] You have what you deserve.

- The buffalo's become a woman!

- It is an honor for me to watch over you

and protect you.

- [Hopi-ho] Now we know we have such powerful forces

on our side, we're a match for anybody.

- But we're not on a war path Hopi-ho.

Our mission is to preach peace.

- It is indeed.

We must never forget that.

(bird calling)

- Farewell.

We thank the great Huron people.

- [Pocahontas] Wait.

I wish you could come with us in the canoes.

- [Hopi-ho] Here, take my hand.

- Thank you.

(flute music)

- [Woman] Some beans for the journey.

- [Child] Hi!

- You must be hungry, Moc.

Have some, it's good.

- Thank you, Pocahontas,

but I can't restore my strength with vegetables.

These lousy mosquitoes,

sucking the blood of a warrior

too weak to fight them off.

- Then it's just as well we have

Miac and Siba to protect us.

- Everyone has the right to eat what he likes.

You should go hunting.

(laughs)

- Don't take me seriously.

- But you still have to eat.

- All this brings to mind

a story our elders used to tell.

- What story?

- It's very instructive story.

If you're interested I can tell it to you.

- If it's instructive, of course you must.

- [Man] Even the animals wanna hear it.

- Are you listening, Moc?

I'm sure that when you've heard this story,

your attitude toward hunting will change.

A long, long time ago, not far from here,

there lived a young warrior named True Feather.

- [Guardian Angel] True Feather, you must only kill animals

you need for your survival.

- True Feather was the best hunter in the tribe

but he obeyed the order of his guardian angel

and when he got back to the village

with only one rabbit, everyone made fun of him.

One of the chiefs, a cruel man,

told him he should ignore his guardian angel

if it happened again, and not spare his arrows.

- I'm watching you True Feather.

It's time to go hunting again.

They say this winter will be very cold

with a lot of snow.

- Then we'll have to lay in lots of supplies.

- [Chief] Yes, you must kill lots of animals.

- But my guardian angel told me not to.

The chief is right, yes.

If we don't have food when everything's snowed in

we'll die of starvation.

(dramatic music)

- I don't wanna be your guardian angel any longer.

It's over, you're going to hell!

Do you understand?

I disown you!

Take him away and drop him

directly into hell's fire!

- No!

- [True Voiceover] I no longer have a guardian angel.

I'm better off dead.

- The unhappy man died soon after

and ever since then, this lake has been known

as the lake of the dead spirits.

- That's a nice story.

The young warrior told the story well.

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is True Feather.

Greetings.

I'm happy to meet you at last, Pocahontas.

I belong to the Cree people,

we heard you were coming this way.

I've been given orders

to welcome you and your escort

and bring you in peace to our village.

- I thank the Cree people.

We have come here to visit all the tribes

that live around Lake Winnipeg.

- [Hopi-ho] I'm Hopi-ho.

I thank you, too. - Welcome.

- We traveled so fast, we didn't have time to eat.

Would you like to share some deer meat?

It's good.

- Try it.

- What?

You don't like it?

- Yes, I love it.

No, actually.

- Well it's there to be eaten.

Help yourselves.

They say the Cree make smoked meats

better than anybody else.

- [Moc] Well, I. (gulping)

- How did you track us down?

- It wasn't that difficult.

Once we found your tracks it was child's play

to follow them.

First we thought you were a group of pale faces.

There were so many tracks.

- We have nothing to hide.

We travel on a mission of peace.

- I know that,

but it doesn't mean you have no enemies.

Be warned.

This region is infested with lawless warrior bands

who attack anyone they come across.

- You paint a pretty dark picture, True Feather,

but we also are warriors.

If anyone attacks us, we'll make them regret it.

- That's for sure. - You can count on it.

- We have nothing to fear.

Everyone knows we're on a mission of peace.

- That's true.

We must go now,

the whole village is waiting to meet you.

Deer are precious animals for us.

Give us meat, oil, skins to wear

and to make our tents with.

They are The Great Spirit's gift to our tribe.

Ah here we are, this is our village.

- You have a very large village, there are so many--

- Look.

There's more than one tribe waiting for you.

On the right, there are the Montagnais,

next to them Naskapi,

and then the Ojibwa,

in their ceremonial costumes.

- Welcome, The Great Spirit has sent you.

- I'm happy to be here, thank you.

(dramatic music)

The Great Spirit speaks to you through me,

he urges you to never betray your ancient traditions.

To respect and worship always

our mother of the earth

and to never surrender.

If the pale faces attack your lands,

you must fight to the death!

You must drive them out because one day,

all the tribes will be united,

to forge a new destiny for mankind.

(guns firing) (dramatic music)

(men yelling)

All wars will end one day.

That is the will of The Great Spirit!

As for us, it is our duty

to unite in one tribe and to live with one heart

and to worship the Great Creator on our lands

all in the same language.
