John Smith is associated with two things in most of our minds: Jamestown (the first surviving English settlement) and Pocahontas (the "Indian" princess).  

Question: Why does our culture--its literature, media, entertainment--continue to promote inaccurate portrayals of historical Native figures like Pocahontas from Smith's account and Squanto from William Bradford's account? In Smith's case, how does what you know about Pocahontas compare to a) the details Smith gives us and b) what we are now told is true in videos and writing like the one below?

Explanation / Answer

The story of Pocahontas described the nature of affection and love, in this story, Pocahontas lived their life with her will and way.
