Pioneers

The pioneers are settlers along the Oregon Trail who appear in "The Time Traveler's Pig". They all seem to be a family or a traveling troop.

History
At some point in the early 1860s, the pioneers decided to seek out a new home, via the Oregon Trail.

After Mabel and Dipper Pines accidentally travel back in time some 150 years and run off a cliff in an attempt to escape from a buffalo stampede, they land in one of the pioneers' carts. The scence switches to a widescale view of the pioneers, then to several individual ones. When one sees the Pines twins, he exclaims that his wife has had two more children. The wife then goes on to say that there would be "more little hands to render the tallow." One of the children in the wagon comments about there being "silver" in Mabel's mouth, and Mabel explains that they are called braces, along with telling the pioneers much about modern times, doing such things as showing them a calculator and saying it is a "Magic Button Machine", much to Dipper's dismay. The twins then time travel again, leaving the pioneers behind.
