Pocahontas was known for saving John Smith's life. And being the chiefs daughter.

The chiefs name was Powhatan. She saved John Smith's life by asking her dad not to kill him.

Note: Her real name was Matoaca- Pocahontas was a nickname. Despite the Disney cartoon, she was 9 years old when she met Cpt. Smith, and was not in love with him. She did marry another Englishman, John Rolfe, when she was older, and became Lady Rebecca Rolfe.

Mozart, like most children born into a musical family, did not attend "school" as we know it today. They were taught by family members, moms, dads, siblings, uncles, aunts ... and by watching those family members do what they loved to do most: create music. Eventually, they began to understand and were able to read music at a very early age with all the constant exposure. Later one, these children were able to begin composing music which has lived on for centuries.

What happened to Pocahontas in 1615 when she married John Rolfe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

She didn't love Smith, but was a little girl. 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.

Was Pocahontas part of the Algonquian tribe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Algonquian is not a tribe, it's a large grouping of tribes that speak Algonquian languages. Tribes in the Powhatan confederacy, which Pocahontas was part of, spoke an Algonquian dialect. That language is now extinct, though there are efforts to reconstruct it, which means they have an approximation of it based on historical word lists and still-existing Algonquian dialects.
