I'm a direct descendent of Pocahontas through her Brother Wahunsonacock Chief Powhatan Tashapiathacho Pocahontas is my 8th great Aunt and her brother is my 8th great grandfather her son Thomas Rolfe is my 1st Cousin 9x's times removed
I agree, ive never seen the disney moovie oly read a non fantasybook qboit her real life i done research about her since i know what happend, i just wish i could time travel and make christopher columbus never born
Disney really never should have made the movie. She died so young after going through tons of shit, and turning it into a cute fun little story about romance is just terrible. This wasn’t Romeo and Juliet. This was real life. And don’t even get me started on the sequel, because their attempt to fix their historical inaccuracies was just crap.
Can you do other native american women depicted in history?? There has been artwork of Sacagawea, Weetamoo, "La Malinche," and Inés Huaylas Yupanqui, I would love to see what they may have looked like in person.
I agree and request this as well. Saint Kateri Tekakwitha would be great! There is only one portrait of her and it looks like she is seven feet tall and so non native looking!
Thank you for giving Pocahontas her ethnic native american features in your recreation. I always thought that some European artists do not know how to draw ethnic features and they end up looking awkward, but your recreation looks like a living breathing Indigenous north american woman.
I need to be honest when I say this....there are FAR more native women that their stories should have been told before her. Not all tribes, but many MANY tribes were far more equal about the genders. The continent is full of different cultures. But we had female warriors, chieftains' wives often fought beside their spouses, we had female scouts, female archers, but most are the smugglers. Anyways...
Thank you so much for covering her story! Pocahontas is my 12th great grandmother. I am a descendant of Elizabeth Bolling's line and have family in Virginia to this day.
Genuinely curious about something. How does it feel to be a known descendant of basically a rapist because that's the only way i can view that disgusting man that violated her.
@@wfs4227 Well, it's not a "flex" just a fact and a piece of historic information. Not anything to be proud of; she was kidnapped from her tribe, and was imprisoned in his house (or something of the sort) It was considered "improper" for John and her to be sharing quarters and not be married. They didn't put THAT part in the Disney movie!
She’s not your 12th great grandma she was raped and she wouldn’t claim any modern day white American(s). Her people were murdered and those rape descendants all had plantations or whom allowed slavery to happen. Poor Pocahontas would not want any of that horrendous history attached to her name.
Suggestion: James Armistead Lafayette, an enslaved African American who served the Continental Army as a double agent during the American Revolutionary War under the Marquis de Lafayette.
Enslaved African American was on this land 200 years before it was even America, I think the term is just "African" at this point... Girl wasn't even alive when the term "American" was even a known word
As much as I love Disney movies I think they perpetuate and romanticize social myths, sexism, “ all girls should grow up wanting to be the princess who marries the prince who takes care of her forever in a lovely castle.” Young children watch and buy into these beliefs. These fairy tales are powerful and have strong long lasting inter generational impact. Not always in a good or positive way.
I do think that their princesses are becoming better, with many like Elsa, Moana, Merida, and Raya not ending up with princes anymore and taking their lives into their own hands. But yea some of the older ones definitely aren’t great remodels
Disney movies cater to young children. I don't believe Disney would make a child's movie showing Pocahontas being raped multiple times and war times in which people are getting speared, disemboweled, etc.... Disney made Pocahontas as endearing to your girls as a Barbie doll and John Smith enduring to boys. (or as the adventure was enduring to boys) .
@@BC-ux9iw That is true. The first time I saw Young guns I thought this will be an excellent movie. I was very disappointed how much info they got wrong and it was a mess. I haven't watched it since. But Disney's shows are geared towards children. As I said before showing Pocahontas being raped at an early age would not sit with parents and others who have children. But I do understand what you are saying.
No, movies can be made however they want. Disney isn’t a historical movie making machine, so it’s senseless to condemn them for doing what they do best which si sell movies to children.
Ah! I wanted to see this one sooo much thank you🥰I am really drawn to Native American history it’s extremely interesting to learn about. A suggestion for another video I thought could be (Marie Delphine LaLaurie) she has quite a dark past and I actually came across her watching AHS but it would be interesting to hear about the actual historical person!
I was doing genealogy research on my family when I came across the possibility that I could be a descendant of Pocahontas. She would either be my 13th or 14th great grandmother through the Pettus family. However, it is hard for me to confirm whether that is the truth or not.
You have a great narrative voice and even with little time, you tell a lot! I hope you make longer video's because it is very fun and informative to listen, in the way you tell it while I am drawing. I would also be interested in Marie Delphine LaLaurie or somebody from India. (sorry if the English grammar and spelling is wrong)
Interestingly enough one of my distant cousins was named after the marquis, no French blood at all just that the father was a soldier under his command and because of his respect for that man he named his first son after him.
American history? She was NOTHING of American history, he ini this video gave an example of location EU did NOT move to America and call it land until err 1700's something (Sorry forget the final date) but this was WAY before America was even a word When EU did move to America these types of things where outlawed by the settlers and lands where given to native Americans and trades where given for land (Fair give or take considering the times as physical tings where more value than money itself)
@@AllanMogensen Stole it from??? Saying the Indians of the time where up and murdering each other it was honestly unclaimed land and the EU's did "Take" at times sure, this wasn't 2022 where we are offended this was human life that has been going on for over 2000 years. Many like to talk about "Stolen" But LETS please be real for some time, again they where killing each other for hundreds of years and IF the EU people that left EU to start a new nation of freedom didn't come to this land who would of? China, Russia, Middle East..no land in Human history stays in the hands of a single nation Even now in 2022, parts of Africa are slowly merging into Chinese property as Cambodia... This whole "Stole land" stuff is just silly, understand human history and how WE as people are before you just judge the past based on 2022 standards...
I knew from the start Disney whitewashed Pocohontas' story, so I never watched the movie or suggested it to kids in my family. Since childhood, I've wished history could have been different, with the Europeans treating America's original people with respect and love. Sadly, it seems genocides, land-grabs and invasions is what history is all about. But it was awesome seeing how Pocahontas looked in real life.
As told by my history/geography teacher in highschool, the French were the most passive ones. As in, they were communicating with the American Natives and doing they're best to learn from them (language, culture, etc). But i'm not entirely sure how true that is, because the French were colonialists at the time too... ^_^;)
This is the first video of yours that I watch as a subscriber. Been binging hours of your content this week. You put a lot of effort into it and hope you get more subscribers :)
I'm not indigenous, I'm half italian and the rest some mix of european. But I was and am always fascinated and in love with the culture - when I saw Pocahontas, I felt like I was a lot like her in the sense that I just loved being in the forest and one with nature. Still to this day I feel a connection to these people and their connection to the earth. I feel sad and shame for what was done to them when they were just defending their traditions and their land which they so greatly respected and loved. I was hoping that I could find her real story so thank you for this 🙏 her story was SO misrepresented by #Disney, what a travesty. Imagine a remake, with the real story....
Thank you for making this! I am a descendant of Pocahontas and am happy to see some truth out there about her story. My family is still in Virginia as well as many of her other descendants.
Love your videos. Really interesting and educational. I would love if you would try to explore the real faces and stories of some portuguese like Queen Leonor of Portugal (1458-1525) or the tragic love of Pedro and Inês de Castro. :)
My friend he is a decendant of Pocahontas through her son Thomas he did a geneolgy search .. My friend he is white but has a little native American in him and he has children and grandchildren
13 year old English boy Ensign Thomas Savage (known to natives as Thomas Newport) arrived at Jamestown and was soon traded for another young native boy and food for the colonists in 1608. Thomas happened to be traded to Pocahontas' (Matoaka's) father. This boy was known to play with her and they are known to have taught each other English and Algonquian. Thomas spent YEARS living with Mataoka and her father while Thomas was acting as one of the most important translators at the chiefs disposal. he eventually got sent away from Werowocomoco to live with another tribe after reportedly getting shot or almost getting shot with an arrow by Powhatan's brother as revenge when the english settlers started to not keep their parts of the deals and that was the last he could have seen of his childhood friend Mataoka. that boy is my tenth generation grandfather. i did happen to know almost all of these things you talked about already, but this is a very great video. 10/10
Pocahontas, I believe would be my 13th great grandmother... I am a descendant through her daughter her first child... Ka-Okee If that wasn't crazy enough, Up a couple other branches on that's side of my family tree, I've got many generations of great grandfather Kings, and Knights great grandmother Princesses, I haven't had time to research them all yet but date wise I've went back to like 200ad now or so... Just jaw dropping crazy...
Your story is very similar to mine. I go through Pocahontas, the exact same way. I am also grandson to Charles the second king of England. Cousin, with seven US presidents. Grandson to many many nobles.
My late grandmother kept a strong record of Genealogy documents and found that Pocahontas was my cousin through the paternal side of the Spicer family.
Would have liked to see the extension of the Martin line from Ka-Okee which is my direct link to Pocahantas along with other's I DNA match with on Gedmatch.
Pocahontas's uncle Opechancanough and his men slaughtered my 8x great-grandparents in a 1644 massacre. If my 8x g-grandmother hadn't hidden her four-month-old son under the floorboards of the house to be found by survivors later, then most of the people in the U.S. who have my surname would never have existed. John Rolfe is also my 11x great-grandfather, although I'm descended from his daughter Elizabeth, whose mother was Jane Pierce. So I may not be related to Pocahontas, but my family sure interacted with hers.
Thank you so much for the images and the facts about Pocahontas. While Terrence Malick’s film The New World was gritty, it still whitewashed the story of Pocahontas. She was portrayed as a starry-eyed who was enamored of the dashing adventurer who abandoned her to seek a wealthy wife in England. Nothing was mentioned about her marriage or baby by her first husband.
I enjoy history............I love the detail you bring history. Would you please research Marie Laveau of New Orleans??? If possible......find out if her descendants went underground . Thank You Marion Richmond, Va.
An interesting Pocahontas descendant to look at is Matoaka Whittle Simms. She while not being very American Indian by blood does have facial features like that portrait does.
I'm a descendant of the Bolling line, Through John Bolling and Mary Kennon's daughter Penelope (b 1699). Quite a few people look at my very Anglo glow-in-the-dark ginger complexion, but fact is, Pochahontas is 13th Great-Grandmother, and back far enough that her genetic influence on me is as homeopathic levels. I have found some really interesting people in my line though, like, Edward Seymour, who was executed for treason during the reign of Edward VI. I found an ancestor who was hanged for participating in Bacon's rebellion, and another who was one of the panel of judges who sentenced him to hang! I found both rebels and Tories during the Revolutionary War, Yankees who fought in the Union Army during the Civil War, slaveholders and Confederate officers on the other side. Digging through records and finding links to history really makes the past come alive, and I encourage people to take interest in family history. It can truly be amazing!
Pocahontas, I believe would be my 13th great grandmother... I am a descendant through her daughter her first child... Ka-Okee She had her daughter with... Kocoum Patawomeck her 1st husband.
@@NoName-pe5sx it's I tough one. If I could find out the parentage of my 1800s Stephen Pettus, there's a good chance it would lead to some cool stuff.. but nope. Just stuck!
She was the first person of historical reality that I could research on and to my surprise found out that she was a real person not the other way around after media I e Disney made her animated as a fairy tale, Anastasia Romanov grand duchess and youngest daughter to the last Tsar of Russia Tsar Nicholas,was next.
I thought "Pocahontas" was a nickname given by her father, meaning "my favorite daughter", and I also read somewhere that her father actually married her off to the Englishmen?
The problem with relying on oral "history" is that history requires writing. We have actual history concerning Pocahontas. "Oral history" is just stories, and like all varieties of the telephone game, less and less reliable over time.
Pocahontas father is my 9th great grandfather and her brother who became chief after there father passed away was my 8th great grandfather so i didn't Decedent from John Rolfe i Decedent from Pocahontas cause her son Thomas Rolfe is my 1st Cousin 9x's removed
I would like to see my ancestors Robert Teat governor of Connecticut . Also a grandson Richard Treat Paine who was one the men who signed the Declaration of Independence
That church is where it’s assumed she’s buried (as the church existed when she died and she would most likely have been buried there as opposed to anywhere else). I’m from Gravesend. There’s also another potential site on Wellington Street, and a few more going over towards Northfleet that are less likely.
I have been doing genealogy, I just did a DNA test but twelve generations away from me it would not show up in my DNA, however it does show the lineage up to her and her native American husband. She had a husband his last name was Pettus . Anyway the lineage comes down through the cannons
We will see recreations in real life of:
Pocahontas (in English Dress & Native Look), Captain John Smith, John Rolfe.
Her descendants: John Bolling Jr. (& Wife Mary Kennon), John Bolling III, Jane Bolling, Mary Bolling, Elizabeth Bolling. Those are the ones I could find portraits of.

It seems like an insult that Disney made a fun-movie from this tragic real life person ... 😞
Most fairy tales that Disney stories are based off of are devastating.
True. I wish they made it more accurate

Pocahontas deserves to be talked about with respect. Thanks you for doing this video about her.

@@augustuscaesar8287 I am not. Elizabeth Warren is a corrupt grifter who's sadly a senator of my state.

Genuinely curious about something. How does it feel to be a known descendant of basically a rapist because that's the only way i can view that disgusting man that violated her.
I am a direct descendant of John Rolfe, who married Pocahontas.
That's a flex worthy flexing for. ❤️
@@wfs4227 Well, it's not a "flex" just a fact and a piece of historic information.

They didn't put THAT part in the Disney movie!
We are likely kin to be sure.
I do know her true story as I live in Virginia and a member of the Mattaponi tribe told me what really happened to her
when I was young.
You care to tell
I descend from her Pettus descendants. Thanks for recreating her. She 's my 12th great grandmother. ❤
She’s not your 12th great grandma she was raped and she wouldn’t claim any modern day white American(s). Her people were murdered and those rape descendants all had plantations or whom allowed slavery to happen. Poor Pocahontas would not want any of that horrendous history attached to her name.

@@nigelqflarp can you please tell me the name of book? I am potentially related through Pettus name too..Thank you.
It is not hard to confirm both through genetics and paper trail her children were both documented and the lineage thereof also

Ok let's be realistic. She was not kidnapped. She was sold. Her father sold her
My late grandmother kept a strong record of Genealogy documents and found that Pocahontas was my cousin through the paternal side of the Spicer family.
Same here with the McKennon/ McKeon side of my family.
I am also a Spicer
She was and is not your cousin. She was an endangered, raped native girl. She wouldn’t want to be related to any of you people.
Would have liked to see the extension of the Martin line from Ka-Okee which is my direct link to Pocahantas along with other's I DNA match with on Gedmatch.
Please cover Sally Hemings
I’m a 12th generation descendant of hers she’s my grandmother.
Another great video. Would you have history about Kateri Tekawitha a Mohawk.
Its a shame how the white man used the Indians.
Will you ever do Philip II of Spain??? I think he was pretty cool
Amazing genealogy! Very interesting research.
Pocahontas's uncle Opechancanough and his men slaughtered my 8x great-grandparents in a 1644 massacre. If my 8x g-grandmother hadn't hidden her four-month-old son under the floorboards of the house to be found by survivors later, then most of the people in the U.S. who have my surname would never have existed.
John Rolfe is also my 11x great-grandfather, although I'm descended from his daughter Elizabeth, whose mother was Jane Pierce.
So I may not be related to Pocahontas, but my family sure interacted with hers.
Could you create Pocahontas 's descendents images?
Thank you for sharing 🙂
Wayne Newton is one of her descendants
Thank you so much for the images and the facts about Pocahontas.
While Terrence Malick’s film The New World was gritty, it still whitewashed the story of Pocahontas. She was portrayed as a starry-eyed who was enamored of the dashing adventurer who abandoned her to seek a wealthy wife in England.
Nothing was mentioned about her marriage or baby by her first husband.
i love your videos!
so sad.... heart wrenching.
Hopefully someday people stop supporting Disney
My family tree involves her family.
Really?
@@MichaelAlexander_ ..I should say her tribe. Yes it does. DNA match, not just research.
@@sallyscott9172 that's so cool! Awesome 👍
Good for you .👍🏾
So does mine. Someone looking into the family said it was through her sister, but we really want to check into it more extensively.
Never knew Woodrow Wilson was related to Pocahontas. Interesting.
Not him, but his wife was
Suggestion: Ghengis Khan?
Can we have one of Martin Luther ? :D
I enjoy history............I love the detail you bring history. Would you please research Marie Laveau of New Orleans??? If possible......find out if her descendants went underground .
Thank You

The savagery of these people for land and money will never cease to disgust me
She happens to be our 11 great Aunt,by her sister who happens to be our great grandmother that married a Hoyter.
of course thomas jefferson is in this tree
Waiting for the live action version Disney
She is in my family tree ❤
Not on the sons side but her daughter Ka Okees side..
Pocahontas, I believe would be my 13th great grandmother... I am a descendant through her daughter her first child... Ka-Okee
An interesting Pocahontas descendant to look at is Matoaka Whittle Simms. She while not being very American Indian by blood does have facial features like that portrait does.
I'm a descendant of the Bolling line, Through John Bolling and Mary Kennon's daughter Penelope (b 1699). Quite a few people look at my very Anglo glow-in-the-dark ginger complexion, but fact is, Pochahontas is 13th Great-Grandmother, and back far enough that her genetic influence on me is as homeopathic levels.
I have found some really interesting people in my line though, like, Edward Seymour, who was executed for treason during the reign of Edward VI. I found an ancestor who was hanged for participating in Bacon's rebellion, and another who was one of the panel of judges who sentenced him to hang! I found both rebels and Tories during the Revolutionary War, Yankees who fought in the Union Army during the Civil War, slaveholders and Confederate officers on the other side.
Digging through records and finding links to history really makes the past come alive, and I encourage people to take interest in family history. It can truly be amazing!
We get it, you vape.
I'd like to see Frédéric Chopin and/or Franz Liszt
Extremely interesting
I am related to Pocahontas through Jane Bolling.
Then we are cousins. ❤
Im related directly to Christian pettus and Stephan Pettus. Children of Ka-okee and Thomas Pettus.
So she had two children?
Pocahontas, I believe would be my 13th great grandmother... I am a descendant through her daughter her first child... Ka-Okee She had her daughter with...
Kocoum Patawomeck her 1st husband.
Fascinating
I found Pocahontas in my family branches from my grandfather’s side. It made me want to search out her real story ❤ I am a descendant of Mary Bolling
Damn why a happy Story, glad Disney turned it into a wonderful cartoon
Glad I’m not the only one who calls Maryland as “Mary-Land” 😂
Half the video in, I’m totally confused because I originally read title “the real PINOCCHIO”, lol
🤣
I'm descended from the Pettus family. I hit a genealogical brick wall in the 1800s tho.
Me too, I’m trying to see if I’m descended through the Pettus family as well but I’m stuck.
@@NoName-pe5sx it's I tough one. If I could find out the parentage of my 1800s Stephen Pettus, there's a good chance it would lead to some cool stuff.. but nope. Just stuck!
She was the first person of historical reality that I could research on and to my surprise found out that she was a real person not the other way around after media I e Disney made her animated as a fairy tale, Anastasia Romanov grand duchess and youngest daughter to the last Tsar of Russia Tsar Nicholas,was next.
I thought "Pocahontas" was a nickname given by her father, meaning "my favorite daughter", and I also read somewhere that her father actually married her off to the Englishmen?
Not sure if you’ve done him before, William Shakespeare?
The problem with relying on oral "history" is that history requires writing. We have actual history concerning Pocahontas. "Oral history" is just stories, and like all varieties of the telephone game, less and less reliable over time.
Pocahontas is my 8th great Aunt
i would like to see jack dawson .
So John Smith knew Pocahontas, and picked her randomly as the subject of his tall tales to make himself interesting?
Ohhh the love of free resources...
Pocahontas father is my 9th great grandfather and her brother who became chief after there father passed away was my 8th great grandfather so i didn't Decedent from John Rolfe i Decedent from Pocahontas cause her son Thomas Rolfe is my 1st Cousin 9x's removed
I would like to see my ancestors Robert Teat governor of Connecticut . Also a grandson Richard Treat Paine who was one the men who signed the Declaration of Independence
What a bummer that the Native People never had a written language.similar to Pre Christian Pagan Tribes
I VISIT HER GRAVE IN GRAVESEND UK, A FEW YRS AGO
That church is where it’s assumed she’s buried (as the church existed when she died and she would most likely have been buried there as opposed to anywhere else). I’m from Gravesend. There’s also another potential site on Wellington Street, and a few more going over towards Northfleet that are less likely.
@@MousesInHouses thank you..
I have been doing genealogy, I just did a DNA test but twelve generations away from me it would not show up in my DNA, however it does show the lineage up to her and her native American husband. She had a husband his last name was Pettus . Anyway the lineage comes down through the cannons
I'd love to show you.
J. Lo xp
Wow totally different from the movie the New World. 😳
You switched to this after the movie, didn't you? So did I.
She is my 13th great grandmother
