This is a story from long ago,
when the great mammoths still roamed our lands.
It's the story of my two brothers and me.
When the three of us were young,
we were taught that the world is full of magic.
The source of this magic is the ever-changing lights
that dance across the sky.
The shaman woman of our village
told us that these lights are the spirits of our ancestors,
and that they have the power to make changes in our world.
Small things become big.
Winter turns to spring.
One thing always changes into another.
But the greatest change I ever saw
was that of my brother,
a boy who desperately wanted to be a man.
Get down. What?
Get down! Get down!
Kenai.
Never try to milk a caribou.
No. No, don't. No. Come on, don't. No.
Hey. Will you two knock it off?
That's all right. After today, he won't treat me like that.
Oh, right, the big manhood ceremony.
Doesn't matter what the spirits say, you'll always be our baby brother.
Well, wait till I get my totem. Baby brother.
Hey, I said knock it off.
The quicker we get these fish, the faster we get to your ceremony.
Let's all just try and get along for a few hours. Okay, Denahi?
Whatever you say. Okay, Ken...
So, what are we waiting for?
When the Earth was young and the air was sweet
And the mountains kissed the sky
In the great beyond
With its many paths
Man and nature lived side by side
In this wilderness of danger and beauty
Lived three brothers bonded by love
Their hearts full of joy
They ask now for guidance
Reaching out to the skies up above
Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other in this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same
Give us wisdom to pass to each other
And give us strength so we understand
That the things we do
The choices we make
Give direction to all life's plans
To look and wonder at all we've been given
In a world that's not always as it seems
Every corner we turn
Only leads to another
A journey ends but another begins
Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other in this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same
Kenai's back. Kenai.
Kenai, are you excited about getting your spirit rock today?
It's not a rock. It'll be my totem.
I'll probably get a sabre-tooth tiger for bravery,
or strength, or greatness.
Something that fits me. A mammoth for your fat head?
Make sure you get that basket tied up. Don't worry.
No stupid bear is gonna get near this fish.
Just tie it up.
Just tie it up.
She's back. Tanana's back. Come on.
Come on, Kenai, let's go. Come on.
Great spirits of all who lived before
Take our hands and lead us
Fill our hearts and souls with all you know
Show us that in your eyes
We are all the same
Brothers to each other in this world we remain
Truly brothers all the same
Brothers all the same
Hey, Nana. Well, hello there, sweetheart.
What a big girl.
When each of us comes of age, the great spirits reveal to us a totem
that helps guide us through our lives.
Some of us use courage to guide us.
Others patience.
And some of us beauty.
Kenai.
You nervous? Excited.
You should be. It's a good one.
Kenai, I have been to the mountain where the lights touch the earth,
and the great spirits have revealed to me your totem.
To become a man, your actions must be guided by one thing.
Your totem is...
Love.
What? Yes, love.
The bear of love?
A love that connects and unites all living things.
Who wants to trade? There is no trading.
Oh, Kenai,
love is the most precious of totems.
It reveals itself in unexpected ways.
Let love guide your actions, then one day you'll be a man,
and we'll place your mark next to those of our ancestors.
Oh.
There he is.
Come here, lover boy.
Leave me alone. Kenai, wait.
I'm sorry. What?
You do? Yeah. And I made you something.
Really?
Now when you skip around loving everybody,
you'll smell so sweet.
Well, isn't this nice?
Instead of fighting, you're giving each other flowers.
Yeah, isn't it lovely? He's so in touch with his totem already.
Hey, dog breath, go take care of the fish.
Sure. Kenai loves me, he loves me not.
Kenai loves me, he loves me not. Kenai loves me, he loves...
Kenai. Someday I'm gonna just...
He's just such a... Hey, bonehead.
Just because his totem is wisdom doesn't mean he's wise.
I mean, look at him. Kenai loves me, he loves me not.
Hi, Denahi. Oh, hi.
Let go!
