Learn More About The Pocahontas Drawing
"I look once more just around the river bend, beyond the shore where the gulls fly free. Don't know what for, what I dream the day might send just around the river bend - for me, coming for me."
- "Just Around the Riverbend," Disney's Pocahontas (1995)
Pocahontas was the first Disney film based on a real-life story. Pocahontas was born around 1595, the daughter of the Chief Powhatan. But for the children's film, that's where history ends and fiction begins.
The real Pocahontas was a child of about 12 when settlers founded the Jamestown colony in 1607.
John Smith was once kidnapped, but whether the child Pocahontas acted to save his life is a matter of historical debate. An injury sent Smith back to England, and Pocahontas and her father were falsely told he had died.

Around the year 1610, Pocahontas actually married Kocoum. In 1613, she was herself kidnapped by the English and held for ransom.
There, she learned English and converted to Christianity. She married John Rolfe in 1614, and with their infant son Thomas sailed to England in 1616. She died one year later, likely of smallpox or another disease.
While in England, Pocahontas was regarded as a real-life princess and as a hero for helping negotiate peace between the Powhatan and the colonists. She also met John Smith and referred to him affectionately as "father."
