A few things that are true: There was a Powhatan woman named Pocahontas (born Matoaka, in later life Rebecca Rolfe), the daughter of Powhatan. There was an Englishman named John Smith, whom she may or may not have saved from execution.
John smith was the head of the virgina company, not Radcliffe. Pocahontas was thought to be 11-13 at the time, and she was thought to be treated as John smith's little sister. Pocahontas' father, chief Powhatan was actually the head of many tribes, not just the one shown in the film. John smith was a brunette, and John smith stayed long after he was saved by Pocahontas, and he actually was a very close friend of Pocahontas' father.

What is the implication of the story Pocahontas to your life?
The implication of the Pocahontas myth is that when a story is told over and over , pretty soon it gets passed on so much that children are taught the story as if it were true in the classrooms. It shows that truth often gets buried when a story sound interesting but has no basis in fact.

These factors lead her to choose the name Pocahontas.Source: The true story of Pocahontas: the other side of historyBy Linwood Custalow, Angela L. Daniel
