Childhood
My name is Pocahontas and I was born a Princess. My father was Powhatan, the Great Chief of our tribe. When I was little my dad Powhatan took me to one of his river tribe.They gave me a head band that my father said could only be worn by a princess. I helped my Mother by preserving deer meat and prepare the hides. My mother gave me a deerskin pouch where I kept my most precious things. I kept my headband in the pouch.
How I Was Famous
White men came to my tribes land and began cutting down trees. They did not like the white men cutting down their trees so they sent scouts to protect the land. One day on a walk I heard talking in the woods. It was the white men so I hid behind a tree. A rabbit almost gave me away but I was not seen. My tribe captured a white man that night. They raised their clubs and I ran in front of him to save him. He was John Smith and his men were starving and cold. I begged my tribe to help the white men. Finally my father agreed and I learned about the white men and their country England. The white men returned to England and they celebrated their new friends.
The Rest of my Life
I was able to visit England and died there when I was 22 of unknown causes.
