Who is Pocahontas?

Answer 1

If you mean the movie Pocahontas, it's a fictional story based on a real person. If you mean the real Pocahontas, she as a Native American child when she first met English settler John Smith. She provided assistance to the colonists in her area of what later became Virginia. Despite many stories, she did not fall in love with John Smith since they met when she was a child. Later in her life she married another settler, John Rolf, and actually traveled to England. There is a very good article in related links that will give you details.

Answer 2

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.
