How did Pocahontas become a princess?

Answer 1

Pocahontas (c. 1595 - March 1617) was a Virginia Indian of the Powhatan Pamunkey tribe. She changed history with her notable association with the colonial settlement in Jamestown, Virginia, and she saved the life of the Indian captive, John Smith. She became a captive by the English, held for ransom, and converted to Christianity, taking the name Rebecca. When given the chance to return to her people, she chose to remain with the English, to marry John Rolfe in 1615 making it the first recorded interracial marriage in North American history.
