Pocahontas is a name many recognize, but her story has been mostly shaped by legend. Some portray her as the romantic heroine, others as a stolen victim. However, modern historians and anthropologists are beginning to paint a more complex and nuanced image than she has been previously afforded.
She lived a life that defies simple labels. In her short time, she moved between roles — royalty, captive, ambassador, and explorer; daughter, wife, and mother — navigating a world on the brink of profound change. She also went by many names... Pocahontas, Rebecca, Matoaka.
In this episode, we try to peel back the generations of myth making in hopes of catching just a glimpse of the real girl and woman.
