The Narrator is very objective and concise. He clears away the myths and exaggerations of long held beliefs that Europeans deemed true about Smith and his dealings with the native people and Pocahontas herself. Fantastic commetary from this most trustworthy and objective and unbiased Narrator.
I've studied much on Pocahontos and looked forward to this presentation. Was worried how the narrator was going to handle the names of people and places. Well done. 🏆👏
I wanted to say thank you for showing all these important historical women. Without these women speaking out we would not be where we are today. And I wanted to say thank you to all these brave women for speaking out.❤
Pocahontas was one of my favourite Disney films as child. After getting it on VHS my parents took me and my younger brother to a museum where there was a huge exhibit on Native Americans and I instantly fell in love with the cultures and traditions. My dad often played a CD “Sacred Spirit:Chants and Dances of the Native Americans” and we had our favourite song which we always played when my mom had a meeting at work in the evening and my bother was away for soccer training. That song really was part of our daddy-daughter time. Later we watched The Last of the Mohicans together and my dad often said “you would have been a fierce warrior if you had been born in one of those tribes, or a shamanic healer” since I’ve always been very caring about others and protective over those younger/weaker then me… Thanks to that Disney film I’ve always had great respect for animals, nature and other cultures. It made me want to explore the world more and more ❤ Thanks guys for another great video!
You would have been the fuck toy for the warriors. You would spend most of your time being guarded by black runaways, that would give themselves the black (name of the tribe). And each of the men would have there try
just to be clear it wasnt just her sex it was her station in life. An upper class women had far more oppurtunities than a working class male, back then and also today!
@@pierzing.glint1sh76. Not sure what you mean by opportunities ~ upper class women’s only purpose in life was to marry and have children. They had a more comfortable lifestyle than a working class man, but opportunities? No.
@verenamaharajah6082 what are these opportunities that you speak of for working class men ? They r either slaving in the fields or in the factories 12 hours a day. What opportunities they had ? Just because they don't physically bear children doesn't mean now they can do anything they want
@@verenamaharajah6082 im saying it wasnt just her sex Upper class people have more opportunities just in general An upper class woman is going to have a better education than a woman (and a man) from a poorer area or from a lower class. A better education doesn't just mean access to books, it means the people you know and who you have access to. eg who are the people your family rubs shoulders with. I postulate that classism is just as perverse as sex discrimation, it just isn't as obvious.
Riveting and fascinating. I have a personal interest in the history of Jamestown. John Dodd, who came over on the Susan Constant in 1607 as a laborer for the Virginia company, is a direct ancestor of mine. There are many more details about the reasons behind Opechancanough's attacks against the colonists. I'm proud of him for pushing back. Much oral history is discounted because there's no written record.
I grew up with a girl who looked like the animated Disney cartoon version of her came to life, she was called Pocahontas for years after that movie came out.
Wow. What a sad story. I hadn’t realized that she had been abducted. Thank you for this excellent biography and history of Jamestown. My ancestor, Stephen Hopkins was on the ship that shipwrecked off of Virginia. He later ended up on the Mayflower and lived in the Plimonth Plantation. Amazing life.
Some 600,000 or more of us trace back to her. The gentiel and gentry class of the old families of Virginia consider it an honored addition to their family tree. How much is left after 14 generations? A drop or two.
I know these things usually have mistakes, but I was trying to fill out my family tree and add my maternal grandfather to my tree. Before I could, I accidentally clicked “see relation”. I’m apparently 11 cousins once removed with my grandfather…through pocohontas as the common ancestor between both sides of my family.
I think the whole story of Pocahontas was romanticized and is actually a tragic tale of a girl who was abducted and held against her will until she died. ( I believe r*ped. She was attacked at 13 and somehow mysteriously ends up pregnant!?) It must have been terror for her a young girl surrounded by animals. She had no choice to marry Rolfe due to her captivity. I wish her father was able to recover her. We may have not known her story but at least she wouldve been cared for by the people who loved her. Thank you for another great historical account.
She wasn't attacked and ended up pregnant. That was apocryhic tale. The only known pregnancy happened AFTER her wedding to Rolfe - they married in April and Thomas was born exactly nine months later. There is no evidence for any physical abuse. Everything points out to her being treated well and having good marriage.
Most of this is just speculation. John Smith was a known liar and orally transmitted histories are no more reliable to be honest. All we know for sure are the very basic details of the story like her approximate date of birth, the fact that she died at a young age after reaching Britain and that she had a child, probably with Rolfe. Beyond that everyone talking about the story today is just injecting their own biases into it. Native people have an interest to point at only the possible abuse and exploitation of the story, Americans and Brits try to gloss over these aspects and romanticize the whole thing. I'm coming at this as someone from a corner of Europe that had nothing to do with colonialism in general. None of us, not the natives today who try to retell her story through their own lense, not Disney and their romanticized children's story and certainly not the people here in the comments understand what was in her mind and her heart. Her "real story", whatever it was, isn't being told by any of these groups because sadly, like the story of 99% of the people who've ever lived on this planet, it died with her. She didn't leave us her own words and, barring any invention of a time machine, we will never know her feelings on any of this.
@@burkphotography2615 Complete nonsens. She is not. She was never abused, her only know child was from marriage that was - as far we can tell - love match, and she passed away because of illness. Find other examples for yourself.
My family bloodline goes back to Pocahontas...her marriage to John Rolfe..but I spoke a woman that said she too was Pocahontas granddaughter but from her 1st. Marriage..where she had a DAUGHTER
I enjoyed this profile of Pocahontas, well done. However, so many of your profiles are of men, particularly political leaders, brutes, and notorious bad guys. I'd love to see more of women, and of writers, poets, artists, musicians, medical people and scientists. Or pick anyone involved in the infamous Salem Witch Trials, such as the priest who (Paris), who inflamed local superstitions and got it all started. How about explorers? How about even the tragic people such as the Chris McCandless who died while living in an abandoned bus in the wild? How about magicians, Houdini?

Well flashgitz aren't lying, she was still a child (10 yr old) when he fell in love with her. No one is going to admit they fell in love with a 10 Yr old and snuck her around her father's back till she was 15 , i learned that from the hidden dark history. I read that he took her when he got wounded , she was only 15 years old, Thanks flashgitz for accurate history 💯
I have the account of my ancestor in Jamestown who was granted a divorce from her husband after he ran off with one of Pocahontas' aunts and wouldn't come home.
Definitely for love. The question at the end. All that old timey child rape makes a person feel safe& welcome in a new culture. Jesus. But to be honest sadly there's folks who believe the Disney version is how it went down.
It really does not seem out of the ordinary for Pocahontas to marry an Englishman for political purposes. Simply because it was a practice that was utilized by her father. She had many other brothers and sisters as proof of that fact. Life was very difficult for Indian women. They were impressed by the things that the English took for granted. Such as metal pots and metal knives. Also cloth, needles and beads etc. These goods, at least for a while had a powerful effect on them and thus many of the men.
Not too badly done doc, terrible history that is currently being made, so many Missing and Murdered Indigenous women that currently go unnoticed in 🇨🇦Canada and the US🇺🇸 we need to notice them and make our government make changes
Since any outsider would immediately stand out, who do you suspect is taking the indigenous women? What changes would you propose, dissolving the Reservations?
I'm often horrified at the ways the British abused the Native Americans and seemed to think that they should be allowed to do what they wanted without any reprisals.
Lol...just like the Powetans were to the smaller tribes which they brought into the confederacy lol. Thats how it works buddy. Nobodys hands were clean.
Where did you get this nonsense from? The only account that this woman even existed was from John Smith, a well-known liar, who wrote several different versions of her supposed life story.
I would've had rolfe & his ppl ambushed taken back my daughter while beefing up security around existing tribes etc for retaliation. Using gorilla tactics ready to ambush any scouts sent word for retaliations I wouldn't have stood complacent to such disrespect ss to take my daughter hostage innthe 1st place
Actually “we are” meaning enrolled are American Indian. If “we” don’t consider ourselves that our treaties hold no ground. So we use our legal given name not indigenous because anyone like you were, were born in America would be considered indigenous.
Black Ameru Khans were already on Turtle's back when Otter brought up the First Dirt. "Indians" were Asian colonizers. So when do you propose that an invasive species becomes "native" or "indigenous"?
You’re trying to speak for everyone of your race which you have no right to do. I am friends with an Indian and they do not prefer Native American. But then again they don’t play the victim card either as it seems you do

The Pocahontas clan has a very big boycott on Disney cartoon's version of Pocahontas in 1994.
@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn Not in nowadays. They are just as American as everybody else.
It seems to me that, like so many women over the millennia, she endeavored to make the best choices she could among her limited options as a female.
just to be clear it wasnt just her sex
it was her station in life.

Her nickname Pocahontas means “ Little Mischief or Playful Girl “ and she was later baptized a new name “ Lady Rebeca “
I'm upset she changed her name to Rebecca to get the approval of the English.
