I know she’s probably a distant cousin (my family is Pamunkey, of the Powhatan nation). A print of that engraving hangs in the church on our “reservation”.

Yeah, most of the Pocahontas stories are just that, stories. My Nana used to laugh at them, and the Disney movie was ridiculous.

If you want a chuckle look up "Jokahontas" by the Warner Brothers (and the Warner Sister).

It don't make fun of the history but boy does it sock it to Disney.

Her uncle, Opechancanough, half brother of Powhatan, is supposedly a who-knows-how-many-great great grandfather of mine, not a pretty story though. No movies would ever be made of that one.
