fulfills a specific role in American culture and history. Her short
life holds a bittersweet tragedy that is part of the mythology of
Native America, especially the first encounters between English
settlers and the local native tribes. The meaning of her name,
"little plaything" or "little wanton", suggests that she was
destined to be bandied about by the powers in her life. The men of
the time simply assumed a young Native American girl did not
deserve or even want respect. She had many other names, however,
some which would have never been known to people outside her tribe,
let alone European colonists. What historians do know is Pocahontas
was also known as Matoaka, she was born sometime in 1595, and she
was the daughter of the paramount chief (Mamanatowick) Powhatan -
leader of an Algonquian-speaking native group. She grew up in
Tsenacommacha, the "densely inhabited Land" of eastern Virginia,
where English explorers and settlers under the leadership of Lord
Newport yearned to find a passage to the "other sea". The English
settlers were also ready to play the role of the legendary Spanish
conquistadors and hoping to find hidden gold in the region.
