Pocahontas, correctly called Matoaka, was the beloved daughter of Powhatan. Pocahontas was actually a loving nickname given to Matoaka meaning spoiled child.

Matoaka did save John Smith's life as the romanticized version of history suggests. John Smith actually made up three different versions of how the maiden Pocahontas saved his life, presumably to escalate his standing in society at the time. Powhatan and the tribe actually treated John Smith well when he visited.

After her release from imprisonment at seventeen by agreeing to marry John Rolfe and to change her name, she sailed to England with John Rolfe where she was introduced to society.

Her major accomplishments would have to be that she was a beloved, dutiful daughter and that she was a mother of a son. She died at 22

The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

She married a man named John Rolfe, which kept peace between the Native Americans and the colonists of Jamestown for about 8 years. Then she went to England, got sick, and died.
