Job

A wolverine, having been the victim of a prank by a group of young flying squirrels, swears to get revenge. Soon, he kidnaps one of the young squirrels - who happens to be a cousin of Linden's, Yakari's beaver friend. The wolverine's plan is to torture his prisoner by starving him, then gobble him whole to acquire his ability to glide through the air! Yakari and Linden will have to work hard to rescue their friend ... and convince the incensed predator to abandon his nefarious plans!

In the middle of the night, a daring thief from another tribe makes off with the horses of Yakari's people. Only Little Thunder managed to escape him by fleeing into the forest. While the warriors hurry after their precious mounts, Yakari goes in search of his friend... who is himself trailing the thief! Once the two groups converge near a huge camp, Yakari will have to display extraordinary cleverness to help his folk...

One day when heavy rains force them to play inside, Yakari and Rainbow are startled by a strange sound. To their amazement, it's followed by their whole tipi suddenly taking off and flying straight north, with them inside! After several hours of a not entirely pleasant journey, they're greeted on landing by Rainbow's spirit guide Nanabozho, the Great Rabbit, who wants them to meet the inhabitants of the great north. Among those is a mysterious white bird...

The Beavers are very worried: Linden Tree, Yakari's young and mischievous friend, has lost his appetite for... well, everything. And his people have no time to devote to him, as they must repair their precious dam, damaged by heavy rains. While the young Sioux attempts to dispel his friend's melancholy, Thousand-mouths suddenly realises he is several labourers short of a full work gang. Is something in the lake going after the hard-working beavers?

Yakari learns from the tribe’s elder that the Sioux haven’t always been the magnificent riders they are now – indeed, that there was a time they didn’t even know what a horse was. Shaken, he speaks a little too demandingly to Little Thunder, wounding his four-legged friend who immediately runs away. Devastated, the young boy will have to track down his companion and find a way to earn his forgiveness if he ever wants to share a gallop with him again...
