Pocahontas

The story of Pocahontas, the beloved daughter of Powhatan, has been enjoyed by schoolchildren for generations. Stories handed down in books and Disney's largely fictionalized version of the maiden have made her famous and larger than life. This category is to separate fact from fiction about Pocahontas, Powhatan, John Rolfe and, of course, John Smith.

Was Pocahontas in Plymouth?

No. .She lived in VA and by 1616 she had died in England and the Pilgrims didn't land until 1620. 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.

What question might Pocahontas and john smith asked each other to learn more about there cultures?

Let's get the story of these two clear. Pocahontas didn't have a relationship with Smith. She was taken hostage by the colonist and held for 4 years. In the 4 years she became a Christian and changed her name to Rebecca. She married John Rolfe and left for England with him. There, she had a baby boy and died. She is buried there. Smith made up the story about his relationship with her in a book several years after her death. He was a adventurer, lied, and did everything he could to make his part in Jamestown greater than it really was. His stay in Jamestown was only about 6 month before he had to go home due to burns he got from gunpowder sprinkled on him while he slept. As far as questions she might ask him why he lied about her and why was she taken hostage. Smith for his part cared little about her culture.
