Why did Pocahontas's father almost kill john smith?
Pocahontas's dad Powhatan wanted to kill Pocahontas, because John Smith kept on bring other people from England to America and invaded their land. Pocahontas put her head on John Smith so Powhatan did not kill them both John Smith and Pocahontas: the beautiful, the most favorite, princess, etc.
She was a Native American woman so most likely she wanted to take care of her family and live a quiet life with her tribe. Instead she was held hostage for 4 years by colonists, became a Christian, changed her name to Rebecca, and married John Rolfe. She went to England with him, had a baby boy, and died about age 19.

Where was Pocahontas famous at?
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.
When did Pocahontas have her son?
