About Pocahontas
Pocahontas lived from 1595 to 1617. She was a Native American living in what is now Virginia. When the English landed on their shores Pocahontas began to learn a little about the English. When John Smith was captured by the Powhatan tribe Pocahontas, then 10 or 12 took it upon herself to save him and make sure he was brought to Jamestown safely. History widely varies on the course of events that actually brought John Smith to Jamestown on that occasion, but we do know Pocahontas did learn the English ways and later married John Rolfe, and was renamed Rebecca Rolfe after marriage. Pocahontas saved John Smith again, but believed he was dead. It wasn’t until she was married and in England that she realized he had survived the gunshot wound. Pocahontas’ story has been widely adapted on the big screen, including by Disney.
