What is some important things Pocahontas did?

Answer 1

Pocahontas or Mataoaka, was the daughter of Powhatan, chief of the Algonquian Indians near Jamestown. She was said to have saved the life of Captain John Smith (1580-1631.) She was later captured by the settlers of Jamestown to use against her father.

While in Jamestown, she became a Christian and changed her name to Rebecca. She married John Rolfe, one of the settlers. In 1616, she went to London with her husband. She met King James I. However she died in 1617 in England.

Answer 2

She explored and had fun! She would pay with her friends ( animals and people) and would play the games and dance the dances of their cultures! :P :) ps. she would also go down a few more waterfalls and riverbends!

Answer 3

The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.
