Only Disney could turn history like this into a sappy, saccharine, love story.
There’s an absolutely fantastic book about her, written by Paula Gunn Allen.
Her headstone says age 22 , smallpox is what i always thought ,i only know that as one branch of lineage shes my 16th great grandmother
Why the Union Flag in the film surely it should be the English ST George's flag as this was before the Union of the Crowns.
they could exhume and test for poison or pneumonia.
Alot of kids who really loved the Disney animated film with the usual happy Disney ending don't know the real story It goes much further that what they could have ever thought
She will always be remembered as an American icon well-deserving of that title
Diz is so messed up, but history isn't that important in cartoons I guess...
Whoooooooo can confirm any of this????? But it's a good adult bed time story
Hi thanks for sharing this story already know about the true story of pocahontas and miokmika between two rivers is what her real name means thanks again good luck with everything
This is not the watered down fairy tale Disney version and no grandma willow And no happy Disney ending
I doubt that "John Smith" was his real name. Pocahantas wasn't her Algonquin name, that was given to her from the English settlers because it sounded like a name from her nation. Her birth name was Matoaka. After her baptism, her name was changed to Rebecca Smith (Lady Rebecca, because her husband was a member of nobility). Also, the chief named after the name of the nation? That seems to be inaccurate to me. Chief Powhatan is probably more accurately "Chief of the Powhatan," so Powhatan probably isn't a personal name but the name of a nation.
She was SA and forced to marry a settler —-nobody even knew who her child’s father was.
Recorded.
Ugh not a robot narration again!
The girl in your thumbnail looks more like a Pacific Islander than a Native American.
Oh i could tell you a lot about her and what happened. No more stolen sisters.
