Waneyihtam Maskwak

The Waneyihtam Maskwak (translates to Confused Bears in English, and sometimes referred to as Team Maskwak) is one of two opposing teams in Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. The team originally consisted of Beardo, Dave, Ella, Leonard, Shawn, Sky, and Sugar. However, in This Is The Pits!, Max and Sky switched teams due to Chris wanting to split up budding relationships.

Total Drama: Pahkitew Island
In So, Uh This Is My Team?, Beardo, Dave, Ella, Leonard, Shawn, Sky, and Sugar are placed on team Waneyihtam Maskwak as they were the seven contestants who didn't have working parachutes from the crates on the zeppelin. In their first challenge, they are required to build their team a shelter. Dave begins to complain about how strange some of his teammates are during the challenge, and they are unable to fully get the necessary supplies. Leonard suggests they build a wizard tower for their sleeping area, in which Beardo, Ella and Sugar are enthusiastic to agree to. Later, a herd of moose run through their building area and completely destroy the tower, costing them the challenge. At the first elimination ceremony of the season, Beardo is voted off and eliminated through the Cannon of Shame due to his team finding his constant sound effects annoying and unnecessary.

In I Love You, Grease Pig!, due to their tower being destroyed, Shawn finds them a cave to sleep in, but tells them that he shall be sleeping in a tree instead. Tension rises in the team as Dave becomes more annoyed with Leonard's wizard antics, while Sugar and Ella enjoy them. During the challenge, the team is divided on who should take which course, but quickly come to the decision that Sky should start the course, and Leonard, as demanded by Sugar, shall finish it. The challenge begins and Sky quickly gets her pig across the greased log, passing it to Shawn. Shawn puts the pig on his shoulders as he runs to the zip-line, however the pig bites his head, causing him to panic over zombies, and he falls off the cliff as the pig slides down on top of the pipeline. The pig lands on Sugar, who gains an infatuation for it, and she easily goes through the grease filed tube. Once out, she initially refuses to give the pig to Ella, but Ella sings it a song and it runs out of Sugar's arms. Ella sings and dances across her obstacle with the pig, resulting in Chris blowing the intercoms horn, scaring the pig. Ella eventually recovers it, and gives it to Dave, who reluctantly starts his leg of the course. As he wheelbarrows the pig down a grease filled path, Dave becomes more and more panicked by the grease, and is calmed down by Sky. Finally, on the last leg, Leonard attempts to levitate the pig up the greased wall climb with his "magic powers". This fails, angering his team, and they once again lose the challenge. That night, Leonard is eliminated for costing his team the challenge, and generally being a nuisance.

In Twinning Isn't Everything, Shawn and Sky gather food, which Ella attempts to thank them through song, before they run her off to the other team. During the challenge, Dave and Sky run into each other, and as Dave tries to flirt with her, they are ambushed by Max and Scarlett. Sky's balloons are popped, releasing a swarm of bees on her and she runs off as Dave runs after her. She is seen upset at Dave, and attempts to divert him by telling him to tell the others that the other team is popping everyone's balloons. Meanwhile, Sugar finds Ella, much to her dismay, and Ella attempts to befriend her. When she begins to sing, they are caught by Jasmine, and Sugar attempts to tell Chris on her, which backfires. Dave and Shawn get the most hits in for their team, taking out two people each, until Dave is taken out by Amy and Samey. Shawn becomes the last man standing, giving the team their first win.

In I Love You, I Love You Knots, Shawn is seen showing Dave on how he hunts berries. Jasmine and Samey (as Amy) comes by and Jasmine asks if they would like to pick berries with them. Shawn then grabs Dave and runs behind a bush. During the challenge, Rodney says his truth about Sugar being the most attractive, but she finds out that he was lying. Then she angrily says that what Rodney said was truth and tells Chris to check his chicken, calling it broken. The chicken then gets angry at her for saying that and shocks the team. It is then Sky's turn and she has to do a scare, which is to drink an entire jug of mineral water for 30 seconds. She takes the jug from Chris thinking it'll be easy. However, when her 30 seconds starts she begins to take small sips of the water. With 15 seconds left, her team begins to be annoyed with her taking the sips. Sky states that it's as fast as she can go. Shawn then grabs the jug from Sky and shakes it up, then quickly sprays it into her mouth, in which the team gets a point. Sky's stomach starts growling after that. Dave is then up next and he also has to do a scare. His scare is that he has to kiss a person next to him. Shawn hears that and immediately runs off. Dave looks at Sky saying that if it's a kiss or a shock then they might as well kiss if they have to. When Sky and Dave are about to kiss, Sky's stomach begins to growl again and then she burps in Dave's face. Their time was then up and since their lips never actually touched, their team then gets shocked yet again. Shawn was then up, doing a scar and it was that he had to pick his nose and whip it on the person next to him. He looks at Dave, causing him to run, Shawn follows and blows his snot on him. However, he got his whole team too, causing them yet to get shocked again. It was then Ella's turn and she had a truth. Her truth was if she can change something about herself then what would it be. She stated she would change whatever was stopping her and Sugar from becoming friends. The teams were then tied 3-3 after the speed round. The final round was that one member from each team had to open a bag. Rodney was chosen for team Kinosewak and Ella for team Maskwak. While Rodney was struggling to open his bag, Ella got hers with no problem. Inside the bags were the buttons used to shock the teams. The chicken then takes the button away from Ella and begins to repeatedly shock team Kinosewak. Then it repeatedly begins to press both buttons, shocking both teams. In the end, team Maskwak wins the challenge.

Trivia

 * This is the sixth "superior" team of the series, after the Screaming Gophers, Screaming Gaffers, Team Amazon, Mutant Maggots, and Villainous Vultures, due to having four members at the merge and winning more challenges too.
 * This is also the third red-colored team in a row to be the superior team.
 * This is also the first superior team to not win the first challenge of the season.
 * This team is tied with the Mutant Maggots for the record of the lowest amount of losses of any team in history, with only two (not counting the fact that both teams technically lost in This Is The Pits!).
 * This is one of two team names to be in a foreign language (Cree).
 * Along with the Heroic Hamsters and the opposing Pimâpotew Kinosewak, this is one of three teams known to have an in-show alternative name.
 * Chris had originally planned for them to be called the "Ferocious Tigers" until Sky corrected Chef's translation.
 * If Sky's switch in This Is The Pits! is not counted, then this is the first team since the Screaming Gophers to have all three finalists of the season on this team.
 * Under the same criteria, this is also the third team to have both finalists of the season on it, after the Screaming Gophers and the Heroic Hamsters.
