Pocahontas’ people did not have a written language. Everything we know about her came from the drawings, journals and letters of the Englishmen who came to Jamestown in 1607.

You have probably seen the Disney cartoon movie about Pocahontas.That version of Pocahontas’ story is an example of a fictional film. In the movie Pocahontas falls in love with Captain John Smith. This did not happen in real life. The true story of Pocahontas’ life is quite different from the Disney movie.
