Pocahontas
Many moons ago, an Indian girl was not yet born but there were many problems with Indians and the white man as the Indians. This unborn child would become a huge part of colony history between the Indians and the English; this child was to be recognized in history by many different names the most famous name would be Pocahontas. The book I read was about Pocahontas by Grace Steele Woodward. This book covers many different subjects in Pocahontas's life. The book begins with a background of The Powhatans, Pocahontas's people. She was not just a little Indian girl but the daughter of a very powerful chief. Before she was born Chief Powhatan claim many of the lands around and near the James Pensile and up through the Chesapeake Bay area. He kept a tight fist with all of his new tribes that he has acquired during his conquest; by placing family members in charge of the new land. Powhatan had the respect of all his people and his people knew not to try to over throw him or question his authority.The Powhatans Indian tribe were part of the woodland culture; a culture of pressure-flaked projectile point, stone-headed hatchets and war clubs, and primitive farm tools constructed of stone and bone.

Not many Englishmen understood the language of the Indians. (Woodward, 20) During The first days of Jamestown, Pocahontas started to watch and observed the new strangers in her land. When she starting visiting the colony there were only about 100 Englishmen, the Anglican chaplain, and the twelve labors. She was now an international figure in the peace between the Indians and the English people. They the moved of to England where Pocahontas, now Rebecca Rolfe, went to the English court to meet the king and queen of England. This changed her father attitude for awhile but he was still uncertain with what the white man wanted. I would recommend this book to anyone who likes Indian history and Pocahontas.
