Why is pocahontas worth knowing about?

Matoaka, nicknamed Pocahontas, which translates to spoiled child, has her place in historical myth. She is important to remember more for a lesson in how History gets changed to suit the times and how people's lives become larger than they really were. Hers is just one of many tragic tales of the native american. She was only about 10, possibly 11 when John Smith came to spend time with her tribe. He was apparently treated very well. Pocahontas was imprisoned at 17 and only released on her promise to marry John Rolfe. She had one son and died at the young age of 21. It was only upon her death and after several years, that John Smith fabricated several different versions of how Pocahontas saved his life.

Why is Pocahontas?

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.

Are you saved?

No I am not, and I believe there will be very few who will be saved. It is true that we will each receive a reward that we have earned for ourselves while we were upon this earth, but there will be few who will return to God in his highest kingdom. To dwell with Him for all eternity, we have to be perfect even as Christ was perfect. No man can in all honesty say that they come close to such perfection. Far to many of us are of the natural man and fall far short of perfection.

What two events was Pocahontas involved in?

Pocahontas played a significant role in two key events in early American history: her involvement in the rescue of English colonist John Smith in 1607, which helped establish a tenuous relationship between the Powhatan Confederacy and English settlers, and her later visit to England in 1616, where she was presented to English society as a symbol of the New World. Her marriage to John Rolfe in 1614 also helped to solidify peace between the English and the Powhatan people. These events highlighted her as a pivotal figure in the early interactions between Native Americans and European settlers.
