You guys are the Best 😊😊😊
You guys are awesome
This CZcams channel is absolute GOLD. Been recommending it to anyone who will listen, everyone else is missing out
The Narrator is very objective and concise.
He clears away the myths and exaggerations of long held beliefs that Europeans deemed true about Smith and his dealings with the native people and Pocahontas herself.
Fantastic commetary from this most trustworthy and objective and unbiased Narrator.
Pocahontas was one of my favourite Disney films as child. After getting it on VHS my parents took me and my younger brother to a museum where there was a huge exhibit on Native Americans and I instantly fell in love with the cultures and traditions. My dad often played a CD “Sacred Spirit:Chants and Dances of the Native Americans” and we had our favourite song which we always played when my mom had a meeting at work in the evening and my bother was away for soccer training. That song really was part of our daddy-daughter time. Later we watched The Last of the Mohicans together and my dad often said “you would have been a fierce warrior if you had been born in one of those tribes, or a shamanic healer” since I’ve always been very caring about others and protective over those younger/weaker then me… Thanks to that Disney film I’ve always had great respect for animals, nature and other cultures. It made me want to explore the world more and more ❤ Thanks guys for another great video!
You'd be disappointed if you met them in real life.
Awesome Comment You Wrote!
Brought Back Some Childhood Memories!
🪴✌️❤️☀️🪴
Daddy daughter time ⏲ 💙 💜 what a precious memory 💖
You would have been the fuck toy for the warriors. You would spend most of your time being guarded by black runaways, that would give themselves the black (name of the tribe). And each of the men would have there try
The Pocahontas clan has a very big boycott on Disney cartoon's version of Pocahontas in 1994.
I've studied much on Pocahontos and looked forward to this presentation. Was worried how the narrator was going to handle the names of people and places.
Well done. 🏆👏
narrator is David Starkey
I grew up with a girl who looked like the animated Disney cartoon version of her came to life, she was called Pocahontas for years after that movie came out.
No nose? Jk that’s kind of mean
@@skeeterd5150 small slender nose
She was a child and raped. The real story is heartbreaking.
I wanted to say thank you for showing all these important historical women. Without these women speaking out we would not be where we are today. And I wanted to say thank you to all these brave women for speaking out.❤
What brave women speaking out?
@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn historical women I mean.
Speaking out about what? Not sure what you mean.
Smith was known as a liar, and he told that same story with the place changed several times
Matoaka, the first recorded MMIW.🥺
It seems to me that, like so many women over the millennia, she endeavored to make the best choices she could among her limited options as a female.
just to be clear it wasnt just her sex
it was her station in life.
An upper class women had far more oppurtunities than a working class male, back then and also today!
@@pierzing.glint1sh76. Not sure what you mean by opportunities ~ upper class women’s only purpose in life was to marry and have children. They had a more comfortable lifestyle than a working class man, but opportunities? No.
@verenamaharajah6082 what are these opportunities that you speak of for working class men ?
They r either slaving in the fields or in the factories 12 hours a day. What opportunities they had ?
Just because they don't physically bear children doesn't mean now they can do anything they want
Woman are in charge in the American Indian culture. She had no opportunity’s she was raped and murdered as a child by yt.
@@verenamaharajah6082 im saying it wasnt just her sex
Upper class people have more opportunities just in general
An upper class woman is going to have a better education than a woman (and a man) from a poorer area or from a lower class. A better education doesn't just mean access to books, it means the people you know and who you have access to. eg who are the people your family rubs shoulders with.
I postulate that classism is just as perverse as sex discrimation, it just isn't as obvious.
I enjoyed this profile of Pocahontas, well done. However, so many of your profiles are of men, particularly political leaders, brutes, and notorious bad guys. I'd love to see more of women, and of writers, poets, artists, musicians, medical people and scientists. Or pick anyone involved in the infamous Salem Witch Trials, such as the priest who (Paris), who inflamed local superstitions and got it all started. How about explorers? How about even the tragic people such as the Chris McCandless who died while living in an abandoned bus in the wild? How about magicians, Houdini?
Riveting and fascinating. I have a personal interest in the history of Jamestown. John Dodd, who came over on the Susan Constant in 1607 as a laborer for the Virginia company, is a direct ancestor of mine. There are many more details about the reasons behind Opechancanough's attacks against the colonists. I'm proud of him for pushing back. Much oral history is discounted because there's no written record.
Some 600,000 or more of us trace back to her. The gentiel and gentry class of the old families of Virginia consider it an honored addition to their family tree. How much is left after 14 generations? A drop or two.
Ok whatever.... supposedly I heard from a valuable source she was Sasquatch third cousin on her mothers side .
@@williammoore841 could be.
Thank you for this, I've been wanting a doc on her from your channel.
Pliz make more on art and music legends...man of science and great poets and writers...love your work
Thank you for sharing this video! It's truly beautiful and awesome
Love your content guys! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic work as always
Thanks for uploading this ❤.
Love this narrator thanks guys
I'm Obsessed with Pocahontas and this by far is the best version I have heard of the true story of her.. I think that she was trying to keep peace
I am starting to think the YuTube channel Flashgitz taught us more about Pocahontas life than we gave them credit for.
🤣
Never heard of them
Well flashgitz aren't lying, she was still a child (10 yr old) when he fell in love with her.
No one is going to admit they fell in love with a 10 Yr old and snuck her around her father's back till she was 15 , i learned that from the hidden dark history.
I read that he took her when he got wounded , she was only 15 years old, Thanks flashgitz for accurate history 💯
Donald J Trump would do that with a pre-teen
A pleasant surprise. Thank you.
May the world find its peace and beauty
Well done guys!
I have the account of my ancestor in Jamestown who was granted a divorce from her husband after he ran off with one of Pocahontas' aunts and wouldn't come home.
John Dodd is an 11th great grandfather of mine.
Listening from Mackinac Island Michigan
Hey I’m from traverse city! The island is one of my favorite places!

Come visit me for a tour sometime

Definitely for love. The question at the end. All that old timey child rape makes a person feel safe& welcome in a new culture. Jesus. But to be honest sadly there's folks who believe the Disney version is how it went down.
Please do "ibn batota" Moroccan traveler .
Who cares about this moor
I know these things usually have mistakes, but I was trying to fill out my family tree and add my maternal grandfather to my tree. Before I could, I accidentally clicked “see relation”. I’m apparently 11 cousins once removed with my grandfather…through pocohontas as the common ancestor between both sides of my family.
Excellent! What a sad tale though. ☹️
It's cool to see a documentary about my 11th grandmother 💚
Well it’s not a story to laugh at?
I’m a direct descendent of Captn Newport.

Perhaps "playful" is a bad translation if she was already breeding at age 13.
I think the whole story of Pocahontas was romanticized and is actually a tragic tale of a girl who was abducted and held against her will until she died. ( I believe r*ped. She was attacked at 13 and somehow mysteriously ends up pregnant!?) It must have been terror for her a young girl surrounded by animals. She had no choice to marry Rolfe due to her captivity. I wish her father was able to recover her. We may have not known her story but at least she wouldve been cared for by the people who loved her. Thank you for another great historical account.
She wasn't attacked and ended up pregnant. That was apocryhic tale. The only known pregnancy happened AFTER her wedding to Rolfe - they married in April and Thomas was born exactly nine months later. There is no evidence for any physical abuse. Everything points out to her being treated well and having good marriage.
Most of this is just speculation. John Smith was a known liar and orally transmitted histories are no more reliable to be honest. All we know for sure are the very basic details of the story like her approximate date of birth, the fact that she died at a young age after reaching Britain and that she had a child, probably with Rolfe. Beyond that everyone talking about the story today is just injecting their own biases into it. Native people have an interest to point at only the possible abuse and exploitation of the story, Americans and Brits try to gloss over these aspects and romanticize the whole thing.
I'm coming at this as someone from a corner of Europe that had nothing to do with colonialism in general. None of us, not the natives today who try to retell her story through their own lense, not Disney and their romanticized children's story and certainly not the people here in the comments understand what was in her mind and her heart. Her "real story", whatever it was, isn't being told by any of these groups because sadly, like the story of 99% of the people who've ever lived on this planet, it died with her. She didn't leave us her own words and, barring any invention of a time machine, we will never know her feelings on any of this.
Absolutely spot on she is one of the first MMIW.
@@burkphotography2615 Complete nonsens. She is not. She was never abused, her only know child was from marriage that was - as far we can tell - love match, and she passed away because of illness. Find other examples for yourself.
@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518i agree people in power seem to always get away with it though
She was brave!
I want to see one on Metacomet 😬
My family bloodline goes back to Pocahontas...her marriage to John Rolfe..but I spoke a woman that said she too was Pocahontas granddaughter but from her 1st. Marriage..where she had a DAUGHTER
Fantastic
Pockahontus lol
It happened just as Walt Disneyland said.
You too can be a member of the tribe with documentation and pay a $300 fee.
Always my favorite night-time ritual❤Love ur channel!❤
A terribly sad tale :-(
👍👍
I heard she was third cousin to the Sasquatchs from upstate New York
Wow
u should focus on old arab poets they deserve talk about them
I'm here my name is Clarence Spencer aka meat meat good morning 🌞🌄
She was my Grandmother
British subjugation and colonization is all it was!😅
Next week: Elisabeth Warren.
😂😂
LOL... no thanks!
C'mon man 🤔😕🤨🤨🤨
Its ridiculous they way they use colorful language trying to paint colinizers as misunderstood instead of the murdering bastards they were
Elisabeth Warren?
Elizabeth Warren
I would've had rolfe & his ppl ambushed taken back my daughter while beefing up security around existing tribes etc for retaliation. Using gorilla tactics ready to ambush any scouts sent word for retaliations I wouldn't have stood complacent to such disrespect ss to take my daughter hostage innthe 1st place
Elisabeth Warren!!!! The Woman causing everyone to smile when we hear the name Pocahontas.
Not too badly done doc, terrible history that is currently being made, so many Missing and Murdered Indigenous women that currently go unnoticed in 🇨🇦Canada and the US🇺🇸 we need to notice them and make our government make changes
Since any outsider would immediately stand out, who do you suspect is taking the indigenous women? What changes would you propose, dissolving the Reservations?
Elizabeth Warren??
I was homeless & walking 20 mi alone at age 12, saved my first life at age 9! Much in here doesn't hit the mark for me!
Ur full of shit
Indigenous, not “Indian.”
Cry me a river😭
Here soon there going to say Pocahontas is black
😂
@@willgibbons1733 🤣🤣🤣
for what?
😂😂😂
huh?
Hypocrite - see religious colonist
Narrator uses Indian too many times. We're either native Americans or indigenous Americans.
Actually “we are” meaning enrolled are American Indian. If “we” don’t consider ourselves that our treaties hold no ground. So we use our legal given name not indigenous because anyone like you were, were born in America would be considered indigenous.
Black Ameru Khans were already on Turtle's back when Otter brought up the First Dirt. "Indians" were Asian colonizers. So when do you propose that an invasive species becomes "native" or "indigenous"?
