- This land we behold
- This beauty untold
- A man can be bold
- It all can be sold
So go for the gold
We know which is here
- Mine, mine, mine
- [indistinct singing]
[rushing water]
[purring]
No! Wait! Please...
Please!
Don't run off.
It's all right.
I'm not going to hurt you.
Here. Let me help you out of there.
[Speaking Algonquian]
You don't understand a word
I'm saying, do you?
It's all right.
Listen with your heart
You will understand
[squeaking]
Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand
Who are you?
Listen with your heart
You will understand
Pocahontas.
What? What did you say?
My name is Pocahontas.
I'm John Smith.
- That's it. Keep at it, men.
- [men grunt]
Keep digging.
It's got to be here somewhere.
- There's 30 more down by the ridge.
- That makes more than 100!
- Anything yet?
- Nothing but rocks and dirt, sir.
How long are we going to
keep digging like this, sir'?
We're slaving away,
busting our backs day and night...
For king and country. I know, I know.
And I share your fatigue. Wiggins!
Wiggins!
- Coming!
- Dispose of this.
- [whimpering]
- Who's a good doggie?
- Who's a good doggie?
- [sighing]
Fetch, boy!
- [velping]
- Savages! It's an ambush!
- Arm yourselves!
- Run!
- Arm yourselves!
- [men shout]
Make sure every man has a musket!
Shoot!
Them, you idiot!
[Yipping]
Where's that blasted Smith
when I need him?
[blast]
[groaning]
Namontack!
[grunting, groaning]
Back to the village!
[cheering]
Shut up. Shut up, you fools!
They'll be back.
Everyone back to camp.
Get the rest of the cannons ashore,
finish building the fort!
Aye, Governor!
And you... learn to use
that thing properly.
A man's not a man
unless he knows how to shoot.
[Kekata chanting]
- [groaning]
- [rattling, chanting]
These beasts invade our shores,
and now this.
[rattling, chanting]
This wound is strange to me.
[groans]
We will fight this enemy,
but we cannot do it alone.
Kocoum, send messengers
to every village in our nation.
We will call on our brothers
to help us fight.
These white men are dangerous!
No one is to go near them.
[John] It's called a helmet.
[Pocahontas] Helmet.
- [squeaking]
- [John] So... what river is this?
[Pocahontas] Quiyoughcohannock.
You have the most unusual names here.
Chickahominy.
Quiyo... Quiyoughcohannock.
Pocahontas.
You have the most unusual name, too.
- John Smith.
- [munching]
Hey! Is this bottomless pit
a friend of yours?
- Meeko!
- Well, how do you do, Meeko?
[purring]
It's all right. It's just a handshake.
Here, let me show you.
Nothing's happening.
No, no. I need your hand first.
It's how we say hello.
[purring. squeaking]
This is how we say hello. Winggapo.
Winggapo.
And how we say goodbye. Anah.
I like hello better.
[squeaking]
[angry chirping]
Yeah, I remember you.
- Flit just doesn't like strangers.
- But I'm not a stranger any more.
Hmm. Stubborn little fellow, isn't he?
- Very stubborn.
- [blows raspberry]
Hey!
- Meeko! Come back here.
- Don't worry. He can't hurt it.
- Hey! What are you doing?
- Meeko, bring that back.
No, it's all right. He can keep it.
Call it a gift.
[clanging]
What was that?
- My compass.
- Compass?
It tells you how to find
your way when you get lost.
It's all right.
I'll get another in London.
London? Is that your village?
- Yes. It's a very big village.
- What's it like?
It's got streets filled with carriages,
bridges over the rivers,
and buildings as tall as trees.
- I'd like to see those things.
- You will.
- How?
- We're going to build them here.
We'll show your people
how to use this land properly.
- How to make the most of it.
- Make the most of it?
Yes. We'll build roads
and decent houses...
Our houses are fine.
You think that only because
you don't know any better.
Wait a minute. Don't take it that...
- Hey! Wait!
- [squeaking]
Wait! There's so much we can teach you.
We've improved the lives
of savages all over the world.
Savages?
Not that you're a savage.
- Just my people.
- No.
Listen, that's not what I meant.
Let me explain.
- Let go!
- No. I'm not letting you leave.
Look, don't do this.
Savage is just a word, you know?
A term for...
people who are uncivilized.
Like me.
Well, when I say uncivilized,
what I mean is...
[snapping, yelling]
[moaning]
[clanging, grunting]
What you mean is... not like you.
You think I'm an ignorant savage
And you've been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still, I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much
that you don't know
You don't know
You think you own
whatever land you land on
The earth is just
a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock
and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name
You think the only people
who are people
[growling]
Are the people
who look and think like you
But if you walk
the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things
you never knew you never knew
Have you ever heard the wolf cry
to the blue corn moon?
Or ask the grinning bobcat
why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices
of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors
of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors
Of the wind?
Come run the hidden pine trails
of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries
of the earth
Come roll in all the riches
all around you
And for once, never wonder
what they're worth
The rainstorm and the river
are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other
In a circle,
in a hoop, that never ends
How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down
then you'll never know
And you'll never hear the wolf cry
to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white
or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices
of the mountain
We need to paint
with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth, and still
All you'll own is earth until
You can paint
With all the colors
Of the
Wind
[rustling]
[faint drumming]
What is it?
The drums. They mean trouble.
I shouldn't be here.
- I want to see you again.
- I can't.
- Please, don't leave.
- I'm sorry.
I have to go.
[rolling thunder]
[man] All right!
This one's ready to hoist!
[man 2] Two on each side.
Ready now? Push!
Watch it! It's slipping.
Come on, lads,
it's only a little picket fence.
' [man 2] Steady! Steady!
- [man] There you go,
That'll keep everything out, eh, John?
- Something wrong, John?
- What?
- You've been quiet the last few days.
- He's mad he missed all the action.
Don't worry, John. You'll get
your chance to deal with the Indians.
Yeah. We'll take care of them,
like we did last time, eh, mates?
We shot ourselves an injun
Or maybe two or three
All right, you howling nutter,
get to work.
Come on, Ben. It's just a little fun.
Sure! We're having loads of fun, right?
Look at us. No gold, no food,
while Ratcliffe sits up in his tent
all day, happy as a clam.
I'm doomed!
I should be wallowing in riches by now,
and I haven't found as much as a speck.
Think. Think!
It's got to be around here somewhere.
- Where could it be?
- [music box plays]
I've mined the forests and the hills
and the swamps... and nothing!
- [growling]
- [purring]
[barking]
Why can't I find it?
What am I overlooking?
[groaning] I... I... I made it myself!
Take that silly...
Of course. The Indians.
Wiggins, why do you think
those insolent heathens attacked us?
We invaded their land, cut down
their trees and dug up their earth?
It's the gold! They have it, and
they don't want us to take it from them.
Well, I'll just have to
take it by force then, won't I?
You there! Where's Captain Smith?
- Well, he's... gone.
- Aye. Your singing scared him off.
- Go get him, for heaven's sake!
- What if we run into the Indians?
That's what guns are for.
Now arm yourselves and get moving!
[wolf howls]
[barking]
[chewing noisily]
[purring]
[groaning]
[squeaking]
[sighing deeply]
[Powhatan] Pocahontas.
You should be inside the village.
We'll be all right.
We're gathering food
for when the warriors arrive.
Don't go far.
- Now is not the time to be running off.
- Yes, Father.
When I see you wear that necklace,
you look just like your mother.
I miss her.
But she is still with us.
Whenever the wind moves through
the trees, I feel her presence.
Our people look to her
for wisdom and strength.
Someday, they will look to you as well.
I would be honored by that.
You shouldn't be out here alone.
- I'll send for Kocoum.
- All right, what is it?
- What?
- You're hiding something.
I'm not hiding anything.
Pocahontas, you can tell me. I promise.
I won't tell anyone... Pocahontas, look!
[buzzing]
- It's one of them! I'm going to get...
- What are you doing here?
- I had to see you again.
- [muffled yelp]
- [Kocoum] Pocahontas! Pocahontas!
- [muffled gasp]
Please! Don't say anything.
Quick! This way!
- But...
- Nakoma.
- Where is Pocahontas?
- I haven't seen her.
Pocahontas can't keep running off.
It's dangerous out there.
Tell her that. She listens to you.
[scoffs] Sure she does.
[squeaking]
[munching]
[John] This place is incredible.
And to think we came all this way
just to dig it up for gold.
- [Pocahontas] Gold?
- Hey, Meeko.
- What's gold?
- You know, it's yellow.
It comes out of the ground.
It's really valuable.
Oh! Here, we have lots of it.
Gold.
No, no! Gold is this.
There's nothing like that around here.
- No gold?
- Not that I've seen.
[chuckling] All this way for nothing.
Those boys are in for a big surprise.
- Will they leave?
- Some of them might.
Will you go home?
Well, it's not like I have
much of a home to go back to.
I've never really belonged anywhere.
You could belong here.
[wind singing]
What was that?
- Did you see something?
- No, no. I just...
I didn't see anything. Did I?
Look again.
Let it break upon you
Like a wave upon the sand
Hello, John Smith.
Pocahontas, that tree is talking to me.
Then you should talk back.
Don't be frightened, young man.
My bark is worse than my bite.
- Say something.
- What do you say to a tree?
Anything you want.
- So...
- Come closer, John Smith.
He has a good soul.
And he's handsome, too!
- Oh, I like her.
- I knew you would.
Smith! Smith, where are you, mate?
- We can't let them see us.
- Quick! Over here.
This place gives me the creeps.
Savages could be hiding anywhere.
If you spot one, don't ask questions.
Just shoot.
[grunting]
- Watch your feet, you big oaf!
- It wasn't me! It was the tree.
Of course! The tree just felt
like lifting its roots...
Let's get out of here.
' Run!
But what about Smith?
He's a big lad,
he can take care of himself!
I'm glad you're on our side.
There's still some snap
in these old vines.
I better get back before
they send the whole camp after me.
- When will I see you again?
- Meet me tonight, right here.
Well! I haven't had this much
excitement in 200 years.
What am I doing?
I shouldn't be seeing him again.
I mean, I want to see him again.
Who wouldn't? I want to see him again.
But, still, something inside
is telling me it's the right thing.
Perhaps it's your dream.
My dream? Do you think he's the one
the spinning arrow was pointing to?
Hmm.
The warriors are here.
[chattering]
Pocahontas, are you crazy?
What were you doing with one of them?
- There you are!
- Kocoum!
Look at them! Now we have enough
warriors to destroy those white demons!
Now that we are joined by our brothers,
we will defeat this enemy.
Father, I need to speak with you.
Not now, my daughter.
The council is gathering.
We don't have to fight them.
There must be a better way.
Sometimes our paths are chosen for us.
But maybe we should try talking to them.
They do not want to talk.
But if one of them did want to talk,
you would listen to him, wouldn't you?
- Pocahontas...
- Wouldn't you?
Of course I would,
but it is not that simple.
Nothing is simple any more.
[twigs snap]
[whimpering]
[barking]
- [growling]
- [chittering]
[barking, growling]
[purring]
[howling]
[coyote howls]
[gasping]
Easy, Thomas, it's me.
- Oh, John! I could've killed you.
- Not aiming like that, you couldn't.
Keep both eyes open when you shoot.
You'll see twice as well.
- Smith! There you are.
- We were looking all over for you.
Smith! Where have you been?
I was out scouting the terrain, sir.
Excellent. Then you must know
the Indians' whereabouts.
We'll need that information
for the battle.
- What battle?
- We will eliminate these savages
- once and for all.
- No! You can't do that!
- Oh, can't I?
- Look. We don't have to fight them.
- John, what's gotten into you?
- I met one of them.
- You what?
- A savage?
They're not savages. They can help us.
They know the land.
They know how to navigate the rivers.
- And look. It's food.
- What is it?
It's better than hardtack and gruel,
that's for sure.
I like gruel.
They don't want to feed us, you ninnies!
They want to kill us! All of us!
They've got our gold,
and they'll do anything to keep it!
- But there is no gold.
- No gold?
And I suppose your little
Indian friend told you this?
Yes.
Lies. Lies! All of it!
Murderous thieves.
There's no room for their kind
in civilized society.
But this is their land!
This is my land!
I make the laws here.
And I say anyone who so much
as looks at an Indian
without killing him on sight
will be tried for treason and hanged.
- [coyotes howl]
- [panting]
[Nakoma] Pocahontas!
- Nakoma.
- Don't go out there.
I lied for you once,
don't ask me to do it again.
I have to do this.
- He's one of them!
- You don't know him.
If you go out there, you'll be turning
your back on your own people.
I'm trying to help my people.
Pocahontas, please,
you're my best friend.
I don't want you to get hurt.
- I won't. I know what I'm doing.
- Pocahontas, no!
Ratcliffe wouldn't take us
halfway around the world for nothing.
But what if Smith is right?
What if there is no gold?
If you ask me, Ratcliffe's been
lying to us since we left London.
Listen to you, you bunch of idiots.
Those savages didn't
attack us for nothing.
They're hiding something.
If they do have the gold,
I reckon we'll have to fight them.
- Not me. I'm not risking my neck...
- Either too hot or too cold.
I haven't been comfortable
since we got here.
[man] Me, too. I'm itching a lot.
[gasping]
- Follow him.
- Yes, Governor.
I want to know where
he's sneaking off to.
- Yes, sir.
- If you happen to see any Indians...
...shoot them.
And, Thomas,
you've been a slipshod sailor
and a poor excuse for a soldier.
Don't disappoint me again.
- Kocoum.
- What is it?
- It's Pocahontas.
- What's wrong? Is she all right?
I think she's in trouble.
The earth is trembling, child.
What's happened?
The warriors are here.
- Pocahontas.
- John!
Listen to me. My men are planning
to attack your people.
You've got to warn them.
Maybe it's not too late to stop this.
You have to come with me
and talk to my father.
Pocahontas, talking
isn't going to do any good.
I already tried talking to my men,
but everything
about this land has them spooked.
[howling, moaning]
That's the strangest creature
I've ever seen!
[yowling, whining]
Percy?
- [chittering]
- [snarling, barking]
- Easy, Percy! Come here!
- Meeko, come back!
You see what I mean? Once two sides
want to fight, nothing can stop them.
- Come here, both of you!
- It's all right. He's a friend.
- Bad! Bad dog! Sit!
- [barking]
[squeaking]
[Pocahontas] What are you doing?
Meeko!
[John] Percy, get back here!
- What are you doing? Stop that!
- All right, that's enough!
[whimpering]
[whining]
It's enough to make your sap boil.
Now then, there's something
I want to show you. Look!
- The ripples.
- What about them?
So small at first,
then look how they grow.
But someone has to start them
They're not going to listen to us.
Young man, sometimes the right path
is not the easiest one.
Don't you see?
Only when the fighting stops
can you be together.
All right. Let's go talk to your father.
[purring]
[squeaking]
[war whooping]
[gasping]
[grunting]
Kocoum, no!
[straining]
Kocoum!
Leave him alone!
[grunting, gasping]
[straining, grunting]
Kocoum, stop!
Both eyes open.
- [blasting]
- [groaning]
[gasping]
- Thomas!
- Is he...
You killed him.
- I thought that...
- Get away from him!
Pocahontas, it won't help!
He was only...
He killed him!
[man] Get all the wagons...
Thomas, get out of here!
Get out of here!
- [war whooping]
- [whimpering]
[murmuring in Algonquian]
- [chittering]
- [whimpering]
' [Whining]
- [purring]
[murmuring, wailing]
[crowd gasps, weeps]
Who did this?
Pocahontas was out in the woods.
Kocoum went to find her
and this white man attacked them.
Your weapons are strong,
but now our anger is stronger.
- At sunrise, he'll be the first to die!
- But Father!
I told you to stay in the village.
You disobeyed me.
- You have shamed your father!
- I was only trying to help.
Because of your foolishness,
Kocoum is dead!
Take him away!
Kocoum was just coming to protect me.
Pocahontas...
I sent Kocoum after you.
I was worried about you.
I thought I was doing the right thing.
All this happened because of me.
And now I'll never see John Smith again.
Come with me.
[tribal drums, chanting]
Pocahontas wants to look into the eyes
of the man who killed Kocoum.
Be quick.
Pocahontas.
- I'm so sorry.
- For what? This?
I've gotten out of
worse scrapes than this.
Can't think of any right now, but...
It would've been better
if we'd never met.
- None of this would've happened.
- Pocahontas, look at me.
I'd rather die tomorrow than live
a hundred years without knowing you.
- Pocahontas.
- I can't leave you.
You never will.
No matter what happens to me,
I'll always be with you. Forever.
[Thomas] Help! Somebody help! Help!
- Help!
- Easy, lad. What is it?
It's Smith! They got him!
- Who got him?
- The savages!
- Savages?
- They captured him! Dragged him off!
- Where'd they take him?
- They headed north.
[man] How many were there'?
[Thomas] I don't know.
At least a dozen.
[Ben] Filthy beasts!
It's perfect, Wiggins! I couldn't
have planned this better myself.
The gold is as good as mine.
We've got to save him!
He'd do the same for any of us.
Thomas is right!
We've got to do something.
And so we shall. I told you
those savages couldn't be trusted.
Smith tried to befriend them,
and look what they've done to him!
But now I say it's time to
rescue our courageous comrade.
At daybreak, we attack!
[cheering]
What can you expect
from filthy little heathens?
Here's what you get
when races are diverse
Their skin's a hellish red
They're only good when dead
They're vermin as I said and worse
They're savages, savages
- Barely even human
- Savages, savages
Drive them from our shore!
They're not like you and me
Which means they must be evil
We must sound the drums of war
They're savages, savages
Dirty, shrieking devils
Now we sound the drums of war
This is what we feared
The paleface is a demon
The only thing
they feel at all is greed
Beneath that milky hide
There's emptiness inside
I wonder if they even bleed
They're savages, savages
Barely even human
Savages, savages
Killers at the core
They're different from us
Which means they can't be trusted
We must sound the drums of war
They're savages, savages
First we deal with this one
Then we sound the drums of war
Savages, savages
Let's go get a few, men!
Savages, savages
Now it's up to you, men!
- Savages
- Savages
Barely even human
Now we sound the drums
Of war
They're going to kill him at sunrise,
Grandmother Willow.
You have to stop them.
- I can't.
- Child, remember your dream.
I was wrong, Grandmother Willow.
I followed the wrong path.
I feel so lost.
[chittering]
[whining]
[purring]
The compass.
The spinning arrow.
It's the arrow from your dream!
I was right. It was pointing to him!
- Sunrise.
- It's not too late, child!
Let the spirits of the earth guide you!
You know your path, child.
Now follow it!
This will be the day
Let's go, men!
This will be the morning
Bring out the prisoner!
We will see them dying in the dust
I don't know what I can do
Still I know I've got to try
Now we make them pay
Eagle, help my feet to fly
Now, without a warning
Mountain, help my heart be great
Now we leave them
blood and bone and rust
- Spirits of the earth and sky
- It's them or us
Please don't let it be too late
They're a bunch of
filthy, stinking savages
- Savages
- Demons
- Devils
- Kill them!
- Savages
- Savages
What are we waiting for?
Destroy their evil race
until there's not a trace left
How loud are the drums of war?
Now we see what comes
of trying to be chums
Is the death of all I love
carried in the drumming of
- War
- No!
If you kill him,
you'll have to kill me too.
Daughter, stand back.
I won't! I love him, Father.
Look around you.
This is where the path
of hatred has brought us.
This is the path I choose, Father.
What will yours be?
[wind whistling]
My daughter speaks
with a wisdom beyond her years.
We have all come here
with anger in our hearts,
but she comes with
courage and understanding.
From this day forward,
if there is to be more killing
it will not start with me.
Release him.
Now is our chance! Fire!
- [Thomas] No.
- What?
- They let him go!
- They don't want to fight!
It's a trick, don't you see? Fire!
Fine! I'll settle this myself.
No!
John!
You shot him!
He stepped right into it!
It's his own fault!
[Ben] Smith was right all along.
[man] We never
should've listened to you.
- [Ben] Get the gun!
- Traitors!
Unhand me, I say. How dare you!
Put him in chains!
I'll see you all hanged for this!
- And gag him as well!
- [grunting, yelling]
[seagulls cry]
Is he going to make it, Thomas?
The sooner he gets to England,
the better.
Let's hope the wind is with him.
- Is the ship ready yet?
- Any minute now.
Just loading the last bit of cargo.
[muffled screaming]
Untie me at once!
I'll have your head for this!
[sniffling] And he came
so highly recommended.
[sighing]
The ship's almost ready.
We'd better get you on board.
We'll lose the tide.
No, not yet. She said she'd be here.
Look.
Going back is his only chance.
He'll die if he stays here.
Here.
It's from Grandmother Willow's bark.
It'll help with the pain.
What pain?
I've had worse pain than this.
Can't think of any right now, but...
You are always welcome
among our people.
Thank you, my brother.
- I thought you didn't like strangers.
- [chirps]
My mother's necklace.
- [whimpering]
- See ya, Percy.
[sneezing]
Come with me'?
You must choose your own path.
I'm needed here.
Then... I'll stay with you.
No. You have to go back.
- But I can't leave you.
- You never will.
No matter what happens,
I'll always be with you...
...forever.
- Good luck, lad.
- Godspeed, John.
- [man] The crew a-ready?
- [man 2] Aye, sir!
Set the mainsails.
[man] Weigh anchor!
[man 2] Let go of the topgallants!
[panting]
[wind singing]
