Pocahontas

Pocahontas, a Native American woman, is known for her bravery and interactions with English settlers. Born around 1595 in Virginia, she was the daughter of a Powhatan chief. Her life is partly legendary, with stories like saving Captain John Smith. Historians debate these tales' accuracy. Pocahontas was kidnapped by the English, learned their ways, and married John Rolfe. She traveled to England, where she was celebrated but died young. Despite uncertainties, she is remembered for fostering cooperation between natives and settlers. A statue in Jamestown honors her courage.
