The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

What tribe was Pocahantas from?
No one knows what tribe Pocahontas belonged to. Nearly every Powhatan tribe has claimed to be the tribe of Pocahontas at one point or another. Currently, two tribes, the Mattaponi and the Patawomeck claim to be the tribe of Pocahontas through her mother. Numerous Powhatan tribes are now extinct and can no longer claim the honor. When the existing Powhatan tribes get together to write about their common history (example: We're Still Here: Contemporary Virginia Indians Tell Their Stories (2000, 2001, 2006) they never state which tribe is the tribe of Pocahontas's mother because they do not agree on this. The True Story of Pocahontas (which a previous poster here used as a source) has numerous errors and its authors have serious credibility issues. It should not be used as an authoritative source. Pocahontas may have been Mattaponi, but we'll never know.
