[Summer] "Finding Family."

Attention, kayakers.

It gets a little narrow here.
Please stay with your families.

Follow me.

♪ La-la-la-la-la ♪

Qamash-y waterfall wash-y!

[gasps]

Uh... Hey, look this way to wash...

I mean, watch the sunset.

-Shh.
-[splash]

Woo-hoo!

-[boy1] Yeah.
-[boy 2, chuckling] Whoa!

[giggling]

That was fun.
But I got separated from my family.

-Can you help me?
-No worries, Marcus.

-We'll get you to your mom and dad.
-Oh, I see your family.

Haku, Marcus's family.

No worries. I have a beary big voice.

Excuse me, Marcus's family!

No. That's not my family.

There's my family.

Hi, Granny and Grandad.

[in Mashpee Wampanoag]
There you are, Marcus.

[in English] Now I'm beary embarrassed.

Turtle toes. Me too.

I hope we didn't hurt Marcus's feelings.

[scared voice] Help!

-Do you hear that?
-Sounds like a spirit.

It sounds like they need help.

Let's go to Spirit Park.

[suspenseful music playing]

[scared voice] Help!

[whimpering]

Water scary.

Look, a baby chipmunk spirit.
She's headed for the wapids... Um, rapids.

Bubble bounce!

[exciting music playing]

Cub catch! Ah!

-Whoa!
-Summer swoopdy-doop.

[triumphant music playing]

So cute.

Aw, you're so cutesy-wootsy
and snuggly-wuggly and I love you.

-Haku, baby chipmunk. What's your name?
-[babbling]

How about we call you 'Ixpaniš?

That's "acorn" in Samala,
and you seem to love acorns.

[sniffles]

Tik'? Koko'? Mama? Papa?

Oh, no. 'Ixpaniš must be lost.

I bet her parents are so worried.

Let's find your family, 'Ixpaniš.

-[yawns]
-[snoring]

[in Chumash] Kasčho.

Aah!

-[in English] My time to shine.
-Hmm!

I can't find 'Ixpaniš's parents
with my hawk sight.

Shh!

Nobody make a sound.

[rattling]

Or a rattle.

Xuxa'w? 'Onokok? Why are you hiding?

[howling]

That's why.

[yawns]

That's not music to my ears.

Uh-oh. Those wolves sound really upset.

I think you mean hungry.

I do not plan on being dinner!

[whimpers] Tik'. Koko'.

It's okay, 'Ixpaniš.
We'll find your mom and dad.

Little acorn-waycorn,
you're cutesy-wootsy, snuggly-wuggly.

I love you.

Exactly what I said.

-[babbling]
-Uh!

That's quite a chomp.

And I'm impressed with those pipes. Whee.

-But let's play the quiet game.
-Chomp-chomp.

[giggles]

[Coyote] We can't let the wolves find us.
Shh. They sound hungry.

We'd better find 'Ixpaniš's parents
before those wolves find us.

Come on.

Haku, Great Gecko. Have you seen
any chipmunks looking for a baby?

Nope. But we'll keep an eye out.

Eyes at the ready.

[slurping]

Yuck. I keep forgetting they do that.

-Ah!
-[wolves howling]

[yapping]

Don't be afraid, 'Ixpaniš.

Geckos, can you hide us?

Gotcha covered. Gecko-flage!

-[screaming]
-[thud]

Thanks, geckos. That was close.

-[slurps]
-Yuck!

Not to mention sticky and slimy.

Somebody tell me why it's always me.

[intriguing music playing]

[bubbling]

Maybe we lost them.

[wolves howling]

Maybe not!

We can hide in the mole tunnels. Hurry!

[suspenseful music playing]

-Whee!
-Whoa!

[Lizard screaming]

-[Summer calls]
-[grunting]

My tail!

We haven't seen any chipmunks.

[wolves howling]

-But there are wolves.
-Run!

[all screaming]

-[sniffing]
-[howling]

[sniffing]

Sniff this, scary wolf.

-Yuck.
-Atchoo!

Yay!

Stinky sardines. [laughs]
Works every time.

Tik'? Koko'?

You're safe, 'Ixpaniš.

It's getting dark.
We have to find her parents.

Time to think like a chipmunk.

Chipmunks love acorns.

Let's check the Konih Spirits' tree house.

There has to be a chipmunk spirit here
who knows 'Ixpaniš.

[gasps]

'Ixpaniš.

['Ixpaniš giggles]

-Did you just play fetch?
-Fetch.

Haku, Chipmunk Spirits.
Has anyone seen this baby's parents?

-Nope.
-Nope.

If none of the chipmunks are her family,
who are they?

[wolves howling]

['Ixpaniš giggles]

-Wolves!
-Wolves!

-What is all this ruckus, Rangers?
-It's the Wolf Spirits.

They're coming this way.

[w*r cry]

Y'all better get in here, or we're gonna
have ourselves a smell-down.

[calls] Let's fly, 'Ixpaniš.

[grunting]

[suspenseful music playing]

[sniffing]

It's empty.

[howling]

[Coyote] These wolves are laser-focused.

Usually, after I outwit them once,
which I always do, they give up.

Except for that time they chased my tail.

-Oh, yeah. [laughs] Almost always.
-[gasps]

My turtle toes sense running paws.

[tense music playing]

-[panting]
-[gasp]

[all] Run!

[frantic music playing]

[calls]

We're trapped!

Remember our kayak tour?
There's a cave behind the waterfall.

That's right. Everyone get inside.

I'll make a bear-icade.

[grunts]

It's stuck.

[wolves howling]

Time for emergency orca.

[adventurous music playing]

[giggles]

[screaming]

[giggles]

[rattling]

[howling]

Maybe 'Ixpaniš's rattle
is calling the Wolf Spirits.

I'll give this right back.

[silence]

[sniffing]

-I don't hear anything.
-Let's keep looking.

[howling]

Tik'. Koko'.

[high-pitched howl]

Oh, that is adorable.

-You're not scared of wolves after all.
-Mama. Papa.

[howls]

Wait. 'Ixpaniš sniffs like a wolf,
plays fetch like a wolf,

and howls like a wolf.

[gasps] Maybe the wolves are her parents.

Yeah. Families can take many forms.

That's why they didn't give up.
'Ixpaniš was telling us all along.

-Her parents must be so worried.
-[howling]

Keep howling, 'Ixpaniš.

We'll help you.

-[high-pitched howl]
-There you are.

Come here.

Tik'. Koko'.

-We did it!
-It worked!

Mama. Papa.

Thank you for helping us
find our baby, Spirit Rangers.

We just wish we knew
how to speak baby chipmunk.

Or baby wolf.

Or baby chipmunk-wolf.

This little cutie is a great howler.
She helped us find you.

Howling is how we communicate
with our pups.

[howling]

-Acorn.
-That howl means she's hungry.

We're grateful she was
in such good claws and paws.

Isn't that right, Fang?

'Ixpaniš's real name is Fang?

Yep. She already has quite a bite.

I've noticed.

Great chomping.

That's the third acorn teething ring
she's gone through this week.

[giggling]

Nothing like Dad's famous s'mores
after DeeDee's famous kayak tour.

Plenty for seconds too.

-Here's some cocoa, Marcus.
-We'll bring two to your family.

[speaking in Kumeyaay]

[in English] That's "thanks" in Kumeyaay.

It's our family's tribe.

Cool. We're Chumash and Cowlitz.

Tonight's campfire story
is an oldie but goodie.

A Samala tale about a wolf pack.

[howling]

I love it when they howl at... uh, me.
