Pocahontas (c. 1595-March 21, 1617) was the daughter of Native American Chief Powhatan.
At a young age, Pocahontas befriended the settlers at Jamestown, and her raw courage helped to save them from starvation and exposure. Captain John Smith, one of the leading colonists at Jamestown, was a dear friend to Pocahontas. When he was captured by a group of Powhatan, Pocahontas rushed to his aid and saved his life. Her brave intervention was demonstrated on more than one occasion and saved the settlers’ lives, bringing peace between two very different people groups.
Pocahontas ended up marrying Englishman John Rolfe and gave birth to one child, Thomas Rolfe.
Interesting Facts:
- Pocahontas never learned how to write
- The town of Pocahontas, Virginia is named after her
- ‘Pocahontas’ was a childhood nickname; her formal names were Matoaka and Amonute, but in her last days, she went by Rebecca Rolfe
