Pocahontas was also known as Matoaka (1595-?1617). Daughter of Chief Powhatan, she's said to have saved the life of Captain John Smith in Jamestown. She married John Rolfe, who took her to England.
Wow! That's not how I expected her to look! She must have been very intelligent. She had to learn to speak English to communicate with the English when they settled in Jamestown. I wonder how many of the British learned to speak her native language?
