Don't move, Little Tree.
Don't turn your head
or even blink your eye.
Thank you, Granpa.
Hell, we showed that son
of a b*tch, didn't we?
Yes, we did.
He'll sheer clear of us from now on, and
tell his relations to sheer clear of us.
Hotter than hell, ain't it?
For this time of year...
- What happened?
- Granpa... rattlesnake...
- Where?
- I led him as far as the shelter.
But he...
Build up the fire, Little Tree.
Make it hot as you can.
Damnation!
That's good.
You keep the fire hot.
We can't move Granpa so we've got to
keep him warm all through the night.
Thank you, Little Tree,
but that won't be necessary.
What'll help is the
heat off our bodies.
He ain't gonna die no more, is he?
After all you've done?
Well, now...
There's all kinds of
dyin', Little Tree.
I've seen people at the settlement
walking around like you or me,
but they're as good as dead,
'cause they spent their
lives in meanness and greed.
The spirit inside of them shrunk down
to no more than the size of a pea.
'Cause the only way to make
your spirit big is to work on it.
You got to use it to understand.
The more you try to
understand, the bigger it gets,
till it gets so big and powerful...
...you come to understand everything,
you remember all your past body lives.
near such understanding,
though he don't know it.
But...
...if his body dies,
he'll remember us.
That's what I want you to know.
We'll all of us be
together in spirit always.
That's the important thing.
That's the important thing.
My God! A fellow can't
lay his body down nowheres
without you stripping buck
naked and hunchin' at him!
Oh, my God!
Mr. Wales...?
I'm Elizabeth Dubois.
This is Mr. Lane.
We're from the State...
- Politicians.
- Pardon?
Oh, no. We're from the
State Department of Welfare.
Politicians.
Sir, we'd very much like to talk
to you. It's really quite important.
It... has to do with...
I think the boy, Little Tree, is it?
I think he should...
He sits in on everything
there is to sit in on.
A complaint has been filed
by a Mrs. Martha McCullers.
- Damn!
- Aunt Martha?
She alleges that you're not
sending your grandson to school,
federal codes, and that...
...you have involved him
in illegal activities.
In short, it states that...
Are you sure...?
...that you are unfit guardians
and he should be removed
moral and educational upbringing.
- He's going to her, then?
- Who?
No.
He's on the Cherokee rolls and
therefore is officially an Indian.
I am?
As such, he will be sent
