Pocahontas was the beautiful daughter of powhatan, a very
important american indian chief in virginia, usa. her real
name was matoaka and she was very brave and clever.
she tried hard to promote peace between her people and the
english colonists who arrived in her country and settled there.
pocahontas managed to learn to speak english. she believed
that the english could teach her people a lot of new things.
one winter, the english didn't have any food so she asked
her father to give them food. but soon, the powhatans
and the english started fighting again. during a fight,
the american indians arrested an english captain, john
smith. pocahontas saved his life. in 1613, the colonists
arrested her. pocahontas stayed in prison for a year. she
had such good manners that the english liked her and so
they didn't hurt her. in april 1614, she married colonist
john rolfe. this helped end the war between the
powhatans and the english colonists. unfortunately,
while she was in england with her husband and
son, thomas, visiting king james i, she got ill
and died. she was only 22. на ​
