(soft Native American music) (birds chirping)

- [Pocahontas] Let's try to leave without

disturbing anybody, Hopi-ho.

- Uh.

Hopi-ho, is that you?

Don't you recognize me?

It's me, your grandfather.

- Oh, grandfather, what a surprise.

- I'm so happy to see you my boy.

- I'm so glad I have the chance to see you.

Where are you living now?

- Near Fort Bends,

I came to congratulate you.

I didn't want to wake you up too early this morning.

You needed rest after last night's party, my boy.

- You're right.

Thank you, grandfather.

- I was so proud that you managed to defeat the evil forces

gathered against us by Spider Woman.

- That's Hopi-ho's grandfather.

- [Man] His grandfather?

- Would you like to travel with us?

- I'm afraid I'm too old.

- I'll teach you how to ride a horse.

- Oh that would be wonderful.

They say you can fly like the wind on one of those.

- What?

- No grandfather, you're much too old.

You might fall.

- Me fall?

I'm as nimble as an old mountain lion,

as sturdy as an oak.

- Uh--

- Just like you, Moc.

- Please be reasonable, grandfather.

(laughing)

- I've never been reasonable, even as a child.

I've always loved new experiences.

And if Pocahontas can ride a horse, then so can I.

- I admire your courage, grandfather.

- It's not courage.

I just want to join you, that's all.

And here's the noble beast I've chosen to ride.

(grumbling)

(slow Native American music) (horse neighing)

(horses neighing)

- You're an excellent horseman, grandfather.

- That's a great compliment.

Pocahontas is a fine rider herself.

- I can see that, my boy.

I only wish that all Oskwas could ride as well as she does.

- And we're allowed to hunt buffalo.

- Just what the great spirit wants to see,

women hunting buffalo.

- Why not?

If women knew how to hunt and make war,

our people would be much stronger against the invaders.

- Princess Pocahontas is right.

We could use some women. (horses neighing)

- Grandfather, tell me about this land of yours.

It's such a beautiful country.

Truly one of nature's masterpieces.

- Isn't it?

And we have many good spirits that dwell in the forest.

The same good spirits that watch over you, princess.

- Oh.

That's good to know, grandfather.

- Hopi-ho didn't tell me about your friends.

Would you introduce them to me?

- Oh, please, forgive me grandfather

for forgetting my manners.

- Don't worry my boy. (laughing)

It doesn't matter.

We're already friends after all.

I'm just a simple Hopi.

- But one worth four of his tribe.

(laughing)

- That's true.

That's why they call me four arms.

- He is a medicine man.

A great seer and a valiant warrior,

and well known among all the tribes.

We admire him deeply,

but among the pale faces, he is greatly feared.

- As for myself, Moc the Mohican,

I'm glad I never had to fight any--

- What do you mean?

- When you have to face an enemy who's more clever than you,

you risk getting your head cut off

without even having time to blink.

(laughing)

- Well that must be Mohican humor.

So whose turn is it now?

- You've already met Pocahontas.

- I certainly have.

- Hopi-ho has praised you very highly

and told me about your fine deeds.

- You are very kind.

I hope I'm worthy of my reputation.

- You succeeded in vanquishing the clan

of the Spider Woman, a victory for which we Hopis

are very grateful.

- We set out to do battle against

all the evil forces that have gathered against us.

And many more trials await us.

- I know, but in your future I foresee victory

over them all.

- Grandfather, your prophecy is very reassuring.

But can you tell us what kind of trials we'll face?

- That's not important.

Having Pocahontas with you will prove your best protection.

- Let me introduce another young brave, grandfather.

- No, wait, I'll introduce myself.

My name is Moc and my tribe is well known far and wide.

- The Mohicans.

You are also great friends to the eagle.

(gasping)

- But how?

What?

- And your friend there is an Iroquis, a member

of the Seneca tribe.

- I am Yellow Wolf. - I know.

- The Mohicans are our neighbors

but we don't always get along.

- You can be proud, Yellow Wolf.

I see in you the wisdom and fairness your people

are known for.

You're a great warrior.

- Such praise is making me blush.

- I am True Feather.

What can you tell me?

- What would you like to know?

Your name should speak for itself.

You belong to the Cree tribe and come from

the northern borders.

- Did you hear that? - He even guessed my tribe.

- Your name is Seewaw and you belong to the Ojibwe tribe.

- Yes and we live near the Great Lakes.

- You are know for building large canoes.

And you my three silent ones,

are Eskimos from the far north and live in the land

of eternal ice.

- That's right, we are know for our houses made of ice

that we call igloos.

(laughing)

- I am Mutle.

He's Newe, and this Yel.

We all come from the far North and belong

to the tribe of the Inuit.

- [Man] Houses made of ice.

(laughing)

- [Hopi-Ho] And now I'll introduce our other companions.

- Please do.

I'm happy to see that all tribes are represented.

And that you all get along so well.

- This Eiswa.

- I'm a wood carver from the Haida tribe, at your service.

- I'm Black Moon.

- I am Swift Arm, an Apache.

- Red Owl, Pierced Nose.

- This is Sound of Silence, a Cheyenne.

To escape the pale faces, he had to hide in a cave.

He was very ill and lost his ability to speak.

- You may have lost your ability to speak

but you have great strength.

And one day you will get your voice back.

- [Hop-Ho] This is Wandering Bear, a Kiowa.

- Brave Eagle.

- I'm Neihe.

- Bounding Stag.

- They say Moc owes his life to you.

- No, all I did was track him down.

- [Grandfather] We should go back now.

- Grandfather's right.

Tonight there's a Wuwuchim ceremony.

- I've never heard of that ceremony, what is it?

- It is a sacred ceremony where Blue Star of the Katchinas

prophesize the future of the world.

- Uh, where will the ceremony take place?

- In the center of the village where the Blue Star Katchina

will sing a song but you won't be able to understand much.

- I wouldn't be so sure.

You don't know how good I am at guessing riddles.

- We shall see.

Nothing is quite that simple here.

In the beginning when the Blue Star Katchina starts

to sing, she might announce good news.

But usually it's bad.

She has already announced terrible strife

with the Shoshone and the other highland tribes

without telling us why.

- But, what are the words of the song?

- As grandfather said, it's very difficult

to understand their exact meaning.

- All I can say is that every cataclysmic disaster

she has predicted has happened just as she foretold.

- Why are we sitting here chattering?

We should get the the Wuwuchim ceremony.

- You're right, let's go.

(slow music) (bird screeching)

(chattering)

(gasping)

(upbeat Native American music)

(gasping)

(upbeat Native American music)

- [Pocahontas] Life is a never-ending circle,

and after the misfortunes predicted

by the Blue Star Katchina have passed,

peace will return.

The pale faces will destroy the buffalo herds.

(gun fire) (tense music)

(laughing)

And confine us in reservations.

Despite all our laments, our people will be massacred.

(gunfire) (horses neighing)

(yelling)

(yelling)

(crying)

(tense music)

After these massacres, there will be huge upheavals

throughout the world.

Humanity will be torn by wars that will pit brother

against brother.

(slow, tense music)

(gunshot)

(gunfire)

(explosions) (tense music)

Mankind will achieve progress capable

of taking people to the stars.

(tense music)

That progress will also cover our dear Mother Earth

with unknown poisons.

(tense music)

All the fury of nature will be unleashed.

But finally the circle of death will close again

and lasting peace will come.

(upbeat Native American music)

(yelling)

(gasping) (yelling)

(upbeat Native American music)

(upbeat Native American music)

- Huh?

- Uh,

don't you think this sudden silence is kind of eerie?

- Now that you've opened your mouth,

we don't have to worry about silence.

- Yellow Wolf, while we're here, why don't

we go take a look at the kiva?

- Good idea, come with me.

Let's go, this way.

A prophecy made by the Blue Star Katchina

hasn't really changed.

It's merely added some new elements.

- [Yellow Wolf] Isn't it fun to climb up

just to go down again?

- Yeah.

(slow music)

- [Grandfather] Please form a circle around the fire.

(slow music)

- [Burning Stag] What's the point of our journey

and all our struggles if the end of the world

is written in the stars?

- You're wrong, Burning Stag.

Everything depends on man's efforts to reestablish

a balance of

the circle of life.

And remember, the Blue Star Katchina is not infallible.

- Yes, you may be right.

But everyone believes what she predicts

and all her prophecies seem to come true.

- If you try, anything can be changed.

- Yes.

- What do we mere mortals know about what the future holds?

Why are we wasting our time discussing pointless questions?

Our task is to create the future we want.

- You're right.

We must not lose faith in ourselves.

We will need all of our strength to help others persevere.

(slow music)

You have undertaken a difficult challenge.

But bringing together all the tribes is a vital mission.

Only by uniting our people can we prepare for peace.

But never forget that we must defend ourselves

and push back the invaders.

Our strength will come from our unity.

This is the only way the white man will respect us.

There is but one path to the peace we want.

We must prepare for war.

We can only hope that our display of strength

will avoid bloodshed.

- I am sure that the Great Spirit

will give us the help we need

to keep the peace we all so ardently desire.

The pale faces call us all Indians?

Well then, all Indians must be united

in one great nation.

- May the Great Spirit help all our people

unite into one great nation.

Long live our united people, bless our nation,

Oh Great Spirit.

- Let me say to you all, well done.

You have told us what we must do.

We must now journey forth and face our destiny.

The Great Spirit, bless you Pocahontas.

- You must excuse this fool.

The Blue Star Katchina's prophecy has made a great

impression on us all.

For me, it is the kind of prophecy I have believed

from the dawn of my youth.

Early in the ninth spring of my life,

something happened that was so strange I was

never able to explain it.

(slow, tense music)

(yelling) (splashing)

(wind blowing)

(grumbling)

- Oh Great Spirit, protect us.

This child's forehead is much too hot!

This is the sickness that killed

an entire Shoshone village a few years ago.

You must take him and leave him in the forest.

(slow, tense music)

(crying)

- Oh no.

No.

(slow, tense music)

- Don't come near me mother, or you'll catch my sickness.

- Don't worry my son.

Yesterday the Blue Star Katchina made a prophecy about you.

She said that you would soon recover.

- You think so?

Since that day, I have always believed

in the Blue Star Katchina's prophecies.

- I can see why.

How long were you confined to bed with your illness?

- For four days.

(laughing)

- What did the old witch say when she saw

you come back home?

- That I was nothing more than a walking corpse.

(laughing)

- She didn't understand.

- Well she said I'd been stone dead for four days.

- A stubborn old lady doesn't always make

a good medicine woman.

- You're right.

All I had was a head cold.

(laughing)

- We have to remember that each tribe

has customs and beliefs different from our own

and we must respect them.

- Let's hope that our coming together will accelerate

understanding among us.

- From now on, all tribes must smoke but one peace pipe

lit from one flame.

You will see how much simpler life is.

You understand, Bounding Stag?

A while ago you still believed in prophecies of doom.

- Yes my friends.

We must join Pocahontas in her sacred struggle

and fight for all world worth.

We must support her courageous endeavor

and prove the prophecies of misfortune wrong.

(cheering) (chattering)

(crying)

- Thank you grandfather for all your support.

(crying)

- You can always count on me

for help and encouragement, princess.

- Very well my friends.

Let's carry on.

(cheering) (yelling)

(slow Native American flute music)

- It's good that you took part in the Wuwuchim ceremony

with your companions.

They come from many different tribes and there

are those who are still unsure, like Bounding Stag.

- You're right.

I think the ceremony helped strengthen their will.

(slow Native American music)

You're not sleeping, Hopi-ho?

- No, I'm waiting for grandfather.

- [Pocahontas] I just said good bye to him.

He's going home.

- I don't know when I'll see him again.

I want to say good bye.

- Your grandfather has become a true friend.

- Really?

Of course, he encouraged you to continue on your mission.

- He understands what I wanna do.

I wish I had a grandfather like him.

He's so wonderful.

(slow Native American flute music)

(laughing)

You want to continue our journey?

You too?
