People->Pocahontas: The Real Pocahontas

Have you seen the animated film "Pocahontas"? It tells the story of the daughter of Powhatan, the most powerful Indian chief of coastal Virginia in the early 1600s. Even today, the story of Pocahontas fascinates people.
Pocahontas was only about 10 years old when her world changed forever. English settlers arrived from far across the ocean and created a settlement at Jamestown, Virginia.
These new English settlers looked and acted very differently from Powhatan's tribe.
Some of Pocahontas's people were afraid or even hateful of the newcomers. But the chief's daughter had a curious mind and a friendly manner. She wanted to know more about these newcomers.

The English settlers at Jamestown, Virginia, called America "The New World." But for Pocahontas it was the settlers who brought a new world of language, dress, and culture.
Pocahontas made some friends among the settlers, but when war broke out between the Powhatan Indians and the English colonists in 1613, Pocahantas was found visiting the Patawomeke tribe and was taken prisoner.
The English were certain that her father would ransom his daughter and settle the war. Do you know what happened?

Because she was the daughter of a powerful chief, Pocahontas was an ideal person to help reduce tensions between the Native Americans and the English colonists in Virginia.
Her own people loved and respected her, and she made many friends among the newcomers.
After John Smith, the Virginia governor, returned to Jamestown in 1608 following his exploration of the Chesapeake Bay, Pocahontas acted as a "go-between," or intermediary.
For instance, Pocahontas often brought food and gifts to the colonists. She played an even more important role in relations between the Indians and the colonists. Do you know what else she did?
