A title reads: Operation Clean Up

It is daytime. Joe, Nina and Buddy ride skateboards along a sidewalk.

Buddy says, I CAN'T WAIT TO SPEND THE DAY ON YOUR MOM'S BOAT, NINA.

Joe says, ME TOO. I JUST HOPE THE NIBIINAABE DOESN'T BREAK DOWN AGAIN. WHICH IT PROBABLY WILL!

Nina says, HEY! MOM'S BOAT DOESN'T BREAK DOWN ALL THE TIME. JUST A LOT OF THE TIME.

Buddy skates around a plastic bottle on the sidewalk.

Buddy asks, WHO LEFT THAT THERE?!

Joe scoops it up.

Joe says, HA! I GOT IT BUDDY.

Nina asks, WHY WOULD SOMEONE JUST DROP A PLASTIC BOTTLE ON THE GROUND?

Joe says, YEAH, EVERYONE KNOWS THEY GO IN THE RECYCLING BIN.

Mishoom comes out of a store. He has long black hair under a headband.

Mishoom says, MORNING EVERYONE. 'GOT YOUR PACK LUNCHES.

The children say, YUMMY! THANK YOU, MISHOOM.

Joe says, THANKS, GRANDPA.

Mishoom says, AND I'M GLAD TO SEE YOU KIDS ARE KEEPING THE STREETS CLEAN, BUT ARE YOU READY FOR TODAY'S BIG LAKE CLEAN UP?

The children say, WE SURE ARE! YOU BET!

Mishoom says, GOOD, IT MEANS YOU'RE REMEMBERING TO RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE BISON TEACHES US, BY LEAVING EVERYTHING THE WAY WE FIND IT OR EVEN CLEANER!

A yellow boat with blue trim pulls up to a dock.

Buddy says, THAT'S WHY WE'RE HELPING CAPTAIN CODY CLEAN-UP THE LAKESHORE TODAY. RIGHT, GUYS?

Nina says, RIGHT!

Joe says, YOU GOT IT!

The children put on life vests and run to the boat.

Cody says, WELCOME ABOARD THE GOOD SHIP NIBIINAABE, CREW. NOW BEFORE WE HEAD OUT, LET'S DO A SAFETY CHECK. LIFE JACKETS?

Joe says, CHECK!

Cody asks, FLOATING ROPE?

Buddy says, CHECK!

Cody asks, PHONE?

Nina says, CHECK!

Cody says, AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, PADDLES IF THE MOTOR KONKS OUT?

Nina whispers, SHE MEANS WHEN THE MOTOR KONKS OUT CHECK!

Cody says, I HEARD THAT, NINA!

(Laughter)

The boat motors away from the dock.

Mishoom says, HAVE A GREAT TIME!

Cody says, OPERATION CLEAN UP IS READY TO GO!

(Gliss sound)

Cody says, OKAY CREW. YOU'VE ALL GOT A REALLY IMPORTANT JOB TO DO. I NEED YOU TO SCOOP UP ANY LITTER YOU SEE IN THE WATER.

The children pick up nets on sticks.

All say, AYE AYE, CAPTAIN!

Cody says, AND KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR WILDLIFE WHILE YOU'RE AT IT. THERE'LL BE LOTS TO SEE.

(Birds call)

Nina says, EW GROSS! WHY IS A PLASTIC BAG IN THE LAKE?

Nina scoops up a bag with the net.

Nina says, OH, BUT LOOK! THE GIIGOON ARE JUMPING TODAY!

(Splash)

Fish leap out of the water.

Joe says, HELLO FISH.

Buddy says, HI GIIGOON.

(Bird squawking)

Buddy says, A ZHASHAGI! HELLO, HERON! AND THERE'S ANOTHER PLASTIC BOTTLE.

Joe says, MORNING, AMIK! YOU'RE A BUSY BEAVER!

Joe waves to a beaver on the shore.

Joe says, OH, CHECK THIS OUT. A PLASTIC CAN HOLDER, YUCK!

Joe scoops it up in his net.

Nina says, A DUCK OR FISH COULD GET CAUGHT IN THAT.

Cody says, THAT'S RIGHT YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TAKE YOUR GARBAGE WITH YOU WHEN YOU LEAVE THE LAKE.

Buddy says, SO IT CAN GO IN THE TRASH BIN WHERE IT BELONGS.

Cody says, YOU GOT THAT RIGHT, BUDDY!

(Music playing)

The children scoop more trash out of the water. Cody smiles and nods from behind the wheel of the boat. The children put the trash in a barrel on the boat’s deck.

(Duck quacking)

(Gliss sound)

A long wavy shape floats on the water.

Buddy says, UM, HOW DO YOU SAY "GIANT SNAKE" IN OJIBWE?!

Joe asks, WHY?

Buddy says, BECAUSE THERE'S A GIANT SNAKE COMING RIGHT AT US!

The shape sinks below the water.

Nina asks, WHERE?!

Joe says, ARE YOU TRYING TO PRANK US, BUDDY?

Buddy says, NO! I SAW IT HONEST!

Cody says, HMM, THERE ARE NO GIANT SNAKES IN THE LAKE, I THINK.

Nina says, THERE IT IS! I SEE IT TOO! AND IT'S BIG!

Cody says, LET'S GO BACK FOR A CLOSER LOOK.

The boat turns in the water.

Buddy says, IT'S NOT THERE, IT'S NOT ANYWHERE.

Joe says, THERE IT IS! WHOA, IT GINORMOUS! AWWWW MAN. IT'S GONE AGAIN.

The boat’s engine rattles and stops.

(Sputtering)

Nina says, REALLY?

Cody says, DON'T WORRY, THE NIBIINAABE CAN STILL MAKE IT TO SHORE.

Cody uses a paddle.

Buddy says, MAYBE THE SNAKE DID THIS. IT COULD BE A SNEAKY SNAKE.

Joe says, LOOK! IT'S FOLLOWING US. I SURE HOPE IT'S FRIENDLY.

The boat rests on a sand. An anchor drops.

Cody says, LET'S SEE WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. FIRST, WE CHECK THE PROPELLOR.

(Grunts)

Cody says, AHA! SAY HELLO TO OUR GIANT SNAKE KIDS.

Joe says, IT'S JUST A BUNCH OF TRASH BAGS.

Nina says, ALL TWISTED TOGETHER LIKE A SNAKE.

Buddy says, AND LOOK, THERE'S MORE GARBAGE ALL OVER THE BEACH. PEOPLE DON'T THINK WHEN THEY TOSS AWAY THEIR TRASH.

Cody says, IT RUINS OUR BEAUTIFUL BEACHES AND MESSES UP OUR LAKES.

Nina says, WE LEARNED IN SCHOOL NOT TO LITTER.

Buddy says, YEAH, AND TO REDUCE, REUSE AND RECYCLE. MISHOOM SAYS ALWAYS LEAVE A CAMPSITE JUST THE WAY IT WAS WHEN WE GOT THERE. OR EVEN CLEANER.

Cody says, MISHOOM IS RIGHT ON. YOU KIDS PUT YOUR GLOVES ON AND GET STARTED CLEANING UP THE SHORE WHILE I UNWRAP THE PROPELLOR.

The children say, OKAY! SURE! GOTCHA!

(Gliss sound)

The children pull on gloves and pick up bags and a bucket.

Nina says, WOW, THIS IS A BIG JOB.

Buddy says, A BIG, BIG JOB

Joe says, YUP, BUT WE CAN DO IT TOGETHER. ALL WE NEED IS SPIRIT POWER!

Joe pulls up his hoodie.

Joe says, HOOD UP I'M JOE WOLF SPIRIT LET'S GO!

Glowing ears appear on Nina’s headband.

Nina says, LYNX EARS. NINA LEAP! LYNX SPIRIT SO NEAT!

Buddy pulls up his hoodie.

Buddy says, BUDDY'S HERE. I'M BRAVE BEAR SPIRIT. READY TO SAVE!

All shout, SPIRIT POWER!

(Music playing)

Joe says, LOOK OUT LITTER, YOU CAN’T HIDE FROM MY WOLF VISION!

Joe runs over the beach, picking up trash. A plastic bag dangles from a tree branch above the beach.

Joe jumps and runs along a cliff face.

(Howl)

He leaps and grabs the bag.

Nina kicks a can.

Nina says, HA! OR MY LYNX CATCH!

Nina catches the can in a bucket. She kicks a plastic bottle and catches it.

Nina says TAKE THAT TRASH!

Buddy runs along the beach with a bucket.

Buddy says, BEAR SCOOP! GOTCHA GARBAGE. WHOA! MY GARBAGE IS ALIVE!

A fish is in the bucket. Buddy drops it and the fish flops on the sand.

Buddy says, AH! IT'S A FISH! GUYS, WE'VE GOT TO GET IT BACK IN THE LAKE.

Joe says, COMING, BUDDY!

Nina says, HOLD STILL GIIGOO! GOOD FISH.

Buddy grabs the fish and runs to the water.

Buddy says, MY DAD TAUGHT ME HOW TO DO THIS. YOU HOLD THE FISH IN THE WATER AND GENTLY MOVE IT BACK AND FORTH TO HELP THE WATER FILL ITS GILLS.

The fish swims away.

Joe says, IT WORKED. OFF YOU GO, GIIGOO!

Buddy says, THIS BEACH IS LOOKING BETTER NOW.

Joe says, YEAH, BUT THIS TURTLE NEEDS HELP. MIKINAAK GOT CAUGHT IN A PLASTIC CAN HOLDER.

Joe picks up a turtle.

Nina says, BUT WE CAN GET IT OFF. WE'LL BE GENTLE MR. TURTLE.

Nina pulls the plastic off the turtle.

Joe says, THERE YOU GO, ALL BETTER.

(Laughing)

The children say, YOU'RE WELCOME!

(Gliss sound)

Joe says, WE PICKED UP ALL THE TRASH ON THE BEACH!

Cody says, GOOD TIMING. I JUST GOT THE PROPELLOR UNTANGLED. WHEW!

(Whistle)

Cody says, GREAT JOB, KIDS. OPERATION CLEAN UP IS A RIP-ROARING SUCCESS!

(Music playing)

The boat pulls up to the dock.

Mishoom says, WELCOME BACK! LOOK AT ALL THAT GARBAGE. YOU'VE SURE BEEN BUSY!

Mishoom helps the children out of the boat.

Nina says, THE BEACH WAS SO MESSY IT MADE US ALL SAD.

Buddy says, AND IT MADE THAT TURTLE A LITTLE MAD.

Joe says, BUT HE'S HAPPY NOW. AND SO ARE WE.

Mishoom says, WAY TO GO, KIDS YOU SHOWED RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT AND HELPED KEEP TURTLE BAY A BETTER PLACE FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY. THAT'S WHY YOU'VE ALL EARNED THE TEACHING THE BUFFALO BRINGS US IN THE SEVEN TEACHINGS WHEEL.

Joe says, MAYBE WE SHOULD PUT RECYCLING BINS ON THE BEACH SO PEOPLE HAVE A PLACE TO PUT THEIR TRASH.

Cody says, I'LL TALK TO CHIEF MADWE, JOE

Joe says, MIIGWETCH, CAPITAN CODY!

Cody drives the boat away.

Mishoom says, SOUNDS LIKE YOU KIDS HAD A REAL ADVENTURE.

Joe says, WE EVEN SAW A GIANT SNAKE. WELL, KINDA! AND CAPTAIN CODY'S BOAT ONLY BROKE DOWN ONCE.

(Sputtering)

The boat comes to a stop on the water.

(Groan)

Nina says, NOT AGAIN!

Cody calls, NO PROBLEM! I CAN GET BACK TO THE DOCK.

Mishoom says, WE'LL BE HERE!

Nina says, THIS COULD TAKE A WHILE.

Mishoom says, OH YEAH.

Mishoom and the children sit down on the dock.
