Ep 10. Skinwalker

In Smallville season 2 episode 10, titled "Skinwalker," the plot revolves around the conflict between two Native American tribes who have been at odds for centuries.

The episode begins with Clark and his friend Pete wandering through the woods when they stumble upon a young girl who has been injured. After taking her to the hospital, they discover that she is a member of a local Native American tribe. The girl's father, a tribal leader named Joseph, thanks Clark and Pete for helping his daughter and invites them to attend an upcoming tribal ceremony.

Clark agrees to attend the ceremony, where he learns that Joseph's tribe has a long-standing feud with another local tribe, the Kawatche. The Kawatche believe that Joseph's tribe has stolen a sacred cave from them, and tensions between the two groups have been high for generations.

As the ceremony continues, Clark begins to experience strange visions and hears voices in his head. He soon realizes that the girl he helped earlier is a powerful Skinwalker, a Native American shapeshifter who can transform into any animal she chooses. The Skinwalker is able to use her powers to control Clark's mind and force him to help her in her quest to reclaim the stolen cave.
