Description
Pocahontas (born Matoaka, known as Amonute, and later known as Rebecca Rolfe, c.1595-1617) was a Virginia Indian, daughter of the paramount chief, Powhatan. In a well-known historical anecdote, 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.
