Again...............as with scholarship, the same as in science............do not believe or disbelieve 100%.......................either with me or anyone else.................check...............use all available evidence....................written records..............archaeology..............etc............Ingo Swann has the best quote about science.................paraphrasing..............he said, "a true skeptic is neither for something or against something.......inherently, he or she will let the process of inquiry over time tell what is true and what is not"..............dig deeper, unlearn...............reexamine........
I was wrong.............according to this anyways.....................everything is about image.........commercialization.................making things look pretty...........cowards!!!!!!!!
Rolfe, his young wife, and their son set off for Virginia in March of 1617, but "Rebecca" had to be taken off the ship at Gravesend. She died there on March 21, 1617, at the age of 21. She was buried at Gravesend, but the grave was destroyed in a reconstruction of the church. It was only after her death and her fame in London society that Smith found it convenient to invent the yarn that she had rescued him.
History tells the rest. Chief Powhatan died the following spring of 1618. The people of Smith and Rolfe turned upon the people who had shared their resources with them and had shown them friendship. During Pocahontas' generation, Powhatan's people were decimated and dispersed and their lands were taken over. A clear pattern had been set which would soon spread across the American continent.

It is unfortunate that this sad story,
which Euro-Americans should find embarrassing,
Disney makes "entertainment" and perpetuates a dishonest and self-serving myth
at the expense of the Powhatan Nation.
