Yes, Pocahontas was born as a Native American Indian. NOTE: to the asker of this question "Red Indian" is normally a derogatory term and should not be used.

"yes, her tribe was the Powahatans" was the original answer.

No, she is a Native American. Indians are from India.

Some Native Americans may refer to themselves as Indians because the elders of their tribe refer to themselves as Indians or because they're not completely familiar with Indians from India and how they cannot have a fair way to describe themselves as Americans.

So remember kids! Native American, Not Indian.

-A Native American
