I did not know that.....

The native americans are a very rich culture, they have a lot of stories, legends and traditions, this cultures are a whole new world to discover,but almost nobody tries to find out more about it. A simple example, i have no idea taht pocahontas was based in real events, i'm really uneducated in this topic, so i seek for more information about her.
Pocahontas was the eldest daughter of Chief Powhatan,reputedly the favorite daughter of the Algonquin chief Powhatan. This is the only piece of onformation that i found taht did not have any references to the famous story of Pocahontas.

Pocahontas contributions to jamestown date from her early acquaintance whit Capt.JonSmith after his capture by Powhatan's man in 1607. her legendary rescue of the english captain in the verge ofhis execution was probably part of a indian adoption ceremony (misinterpreted or misunderstood by Simth), though it is possible taht without her intercession he would have been killed. in any event, relations between Powhatan and the fleding colony improved, and Pocahontas, then about twelve years old,became a frequent visitor at Jamestown and an important supplier of foodfor the colonists. She also became an informer for the colony, warning Smith of her father's belligerant plans.( http://www.history.com/topics/pocahontas)


As a child i never thought in the background of the movie "Pocahontas", but now that i think about it, she somehow betrayed her family and her tribe for a dazzeling new worl that was coming to wipe out everything she kenw.She trusted the white man and he took advantage of her naivety.
