Description

Portrait of Pocahontas (1595-1617), an Algonquian Indian remembered for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia; in English dress. She was the daughter of Chief Powhatan, the head of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tidewater region of Virginia. She is said to have saved the life of an Indian captive, Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him. Pocahontas was captured by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. She married tobacco planter John Rolfe, and, in January 1615, bore him a son, Thomas Rolfe. In 1616, the Rolfes traveled to London. Pocahontas was presented to English society as an example of the civilized "savage." In 1617, the Rolfes set sail for home, but Pocahontas died at Gravesend of unknown causes.
