The True Story of Pocahontas

Описание: The story of Pocahontas is often told as a fairy tale, but the truth is far more complex. Born around 1596, Pocahontas was the daughter of Chief Powhatan, the powerful leader of the Powhatan Confederacy. Her life changed forever when she encountered English settlers in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1607. While legend says she saved Captain John Smith, historical evidence suggests otherwise. She was later taken by the English, converted to Christianity, and married John Rolfe, a union that helped establish fragile peace between the settlers and Native tribes. However, her journey ended tragically in 1617, when she died in England at just 21 years old. The real Pocahontas story is one of survival, cultural conflict, and historical myth.
