Pocahontas: Beyond the Myth background

Pocahontas: Beyond the Myth

The true story of Pocahontas has been obscured by myth and legend, often misrepresenting her bond with John Smith as a romantic partnership that fostered a lasting cultural connection and perpetual peace.

The true story of Pocahontas is a far cry from the romanticized tale of a peaceful union between two cultures. Instead, it's a narrative of captivity, conflict, and survival, marked by starvation, cannibalism, and a treacherous ocean journey that threatened the very existence of her people.
