Chief Bat Sits, of the Native American tribe protesting the diversion of Lake Superior through tribal lands, berates Runs with Weasels, who has lost touch with his roots, and tells him to go on a spiritual journey. The Chief maintains that it is the children, like Runs with Weasels, who will decide the fate of their tribe: side with blood, or with the Whites? They chant "the rubber not the blubber" and Poops with Owls shares her "peace pipe". Chief Bat Sits takes over the gathering of tires while Munchhausen puts Runs with Weasels into the Dream Tent / Sweat Lodge for his journey. Chief and Poops go to Walmart to take tires.
Runs with Weasels is disappointed that his spirit animal is a raccoon. Raccoon offers to guide him. Runs is belligerent. A wolf howl scares Raccoon. Drums pound. Runs is confused.
Meanwhile, at the local Walmart, a pair of yokels are buying Wesson and baby wipes. When they get out to the lot, they find all their tires are gone. No tires on ANY of those cars. Drums pound... They shuffle on home to barricade themselves against the Indian menace.
