She was aristocracy, the colonists were mainly just adventurers!. For a few years, she was the only thing keeping Pohatan from brushing the Jamestown colony back into the sea!. In fact, she made her father support the colonists when they were starving!.

She embraced what she considered the best aspects of the newcomers, including their religion!. She was an ideal ambassador to the court of St!. James (was it called that then!?)!.

Too bad she died!. Most native americans had scant resistance to European germs, and most Europeans were riddled with STD's, Pox and other admirable traits!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There's a lot of people that saw the Pocahontas movie, therefore everyone knows her since it's been around for practically forever!. There's a lot of other princesses or whatever I guess but they saw the story/tale/legend and they thought it'd be a great, entertaining movie for a bunch of kids and families!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She was a scout in the wilderness and helped Louis and Clark find food and water and areas for shelter!. They needed her to navigate the vast wilderness they were traveling in!. She was the first an example of what Americans at the time saw as a "civilized" Indian!. (now called Native American) She was so civilized that she left her Indian tribe, changed her name to Rebecca, married a man from Europe, John Smith!. I think they moved to England where she spent the rest of her years!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She saved the egotist John Smith from death, married some guy named John Rolfe, had a kid, and died of small pox in england!. So, I'm not rally sure!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

She was basically an ambassador between the Natives and the early settlers!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
