Two long-distance lovers search for a way forward (or backward) when the bedrock of their twenty-year relationship cracks. A midwestern rumination on loving across space and time.

This adaptation of the epic poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow tells the tale of a mighty Ojibwe leader as he falls in love and strives for peace.

Hiawatha is just a boy when his tribe's wise man foretells of a drought that will plague his people. As a man, Hiawatha is chosen to make a perilous journey to far- away White Mountain, where he must learn the secrets of the Great Bear in order to save his tribe from starvation. Along the way, he battles and outwits many legendary creatures of the forest, including the evil Wind Wolves who haunt the forest of night.

The "fearless warrior" of the poem is a very small child whose pants keep falling down. He tries to shoot a grasshopper with his arrow, but the grasshopper spits in his eye. He tries to shoot a bunny rabbit, but the rabbit is too cute and pathetic. He tracks a bear, and runs after its cub and right into the mother. But the rest of the animals, thankful for him saving the rabbit, come to his rescue.

Bugs Bunny is hunted by Hiawatha, a stereotyped Native American who fills roughly the same role as Elmer Fudd in other Bugs Bunny cartoons of this era.
