What indian tribe was Pacahontas a princess of?
None, since the idea of "Indian princess" is an entirely false European one and there is no equivalent term in any native American language. Native tribes did not have kings, queens, princes or princesses - leave those ideas to fairy tales and Disney cartoons. Matoaka (Pocahontas) was simply a young girl who happened to be the daughter of a chief , which probably gave her no special rank or privileges of any kind. Her tribe was called the Powhatan, after the chief who was also her father; it was really a large federation of around 30 small Algonquian tribes in the Virginia tidewater country.
