We knew this already We got Powhatan County Pocahontas Park And Matoaca High School Virginia been known the history

Pocahontas was born about 1596 and named "Amonute," though she also had a more private name of Matoaka. She was called "Pocahontas" as a nickname, which meant "playful one," because of her frolicsome and curious nature. She was the daughter of Wahunsenaca (Chief Powhatan), the mamanatowick (paramount chief) of the Powhatan Chiefdom. At its height, the Powhatan Chiefdom had a population of about 25,000 and included more than 30 Algonquian speaking tribes - each with its own werowance (chief). The Powhatan Indians called their homeland "Tsenacomoco." As the daughter of the paramount chief Powhatan, custom dictated that Pocahontas would have accompanied her mother, who would have gone to live in another village, after her birth (Powhatan still cared for them). However, nothing is written by the English about Pocahontas' mother. Some historians have theorized that she died during childbirth, so it is possible that Pocahontas did not leave like most of her half-siblings. Either way, Pocahontas would have eventually returned to live with her father Powhatan and her half-siblings once she was weaned. Her mother, if still living, would then have been free to remarry.

Colonizers make up names like Pocahontas and Africa and no one ever knows the origin of the words. It's like some sick masonic joke

She wasn't black either 😕

They stay renaming and reclassifying the Original people of America and Indigenous people of the world.

Facts Matter

I’m assuming that this woman is a descendent of that tribe

Please, if Africa was the cradle of civilization, we’d all still be in diapers

All these niggas wanna be Indian so bad….. 😂😂
