Product Details
Overview
For 400 years, her story was told by her captors. Now, it is told by her people.
Behind the romanticized myths of Disney and the colonial accounts of John Smith lies a far more profound and tragic reality. The True Story of Pocahontas is the first written history of the legendary figure provided by the Mattaponi Tribe, one of the core tribes of the Powhatan Chiefdom. Passed down through centuries of sacred oral tradition, this account provides the "other side" of the Jamestown story—the perspective of the Indigenous people who witnessed the arrival of the English.
From her real names, Amonute and Matoaka, to the harrowing details of her abduction and death, Dr. Linwood Custalow and Angela L. Daniel present a powerful reclamation of Pocahontas's life. This is not just a biography; it is a vital act of historical justice that restores the voice of a woman who has been silenced for four centuries.
