This YouTube channel is absolute GOLD. Been recommending it to anyone who will listen, everyone else is missing out

The Narrator is very objective and concise. He clears away the myths and exaggerations of long held beliefs that Europeans deemed true about Smith and his dealings with the native people and Pocahontas herself. Fantastic commetary from this most trustworthy and objective and unbiased Narrator.

Pocahontas was one of my favourite Disney films as child. After getting it on VHS my parents took me and my younger brother to a museum where there was a huge exhibit on Native Americans and I instantly fell in love with the cultures and traditions. My dad often played a CD “Sacred Spirit:Chants and Dances of the Native Americans” and we had our favourite song which we always played when my mom had a meeting at work in the evening and my bother was away for soccer training. That song really was part of our daddy-daughter time. Later we watched The Last of the Mohicans together and my dad often said “you would have been a fierce warrior if you had been born in one of those tribes, or a shamanic healer” since I’ve always been very caring about others and protective over those younger/weaker then me… Thanks to that Disney film I’ve always had great respect for animals, nature and other cultures. It made me want to explore the world more and more ❤ Thanks guys for another great video!

I've studied much on Pocahontos and looked forward to this presentation. Was worried how the narrator was going to handle the names of people and places. Well done. 🏆👏

Smith was known as a liar, and he told that same story with the place changed several times

I grew up with a girl who looked like the animated Disney cartoon version of her came to life, she was called Pocahontas for years after that movie came out.

I wanted to say thank you for showing all these important historical women. Without these women speaking out we would not be where we are today. And I wanted to say thank you to all these brave women for speaking out.❤

Matoaka, the first recorded MMIW.🥺

I enjoyed this profile of Pocahontas, well done. However, so many of your profiles are of men, particularly political leaders, brutes, and notorious bad guys. I'd love to see more of women, and of writers, poets, artists, musicians, medical people and scientists. Or pick anyone involved in the infamous Salem Witch Trials, such as the priest who (Paris), who inflamed local superstitions and got it all started. How about explorers? How about even the tragic people such as the Chris McCandless who died while living in an abandoned bus in the wild? How about magicians, Houdini?

Riveting and fascinating. I have a personal interest in the history of Jamestown. John Dodd, who came over on the Susan Constant in 1607 as a laborer for the Virginia company, is a direct ancestor of mine. There are many more details about the reasons behind Opechancanough's attacks against the colonists. I'm proud of him for pushing back. Much oral history is discounted because there's no written record.

It seems to me that, like so many women over the millennia, she endeavored to make the best choices she could among her limited options as a female.

I'm Obsessed with Pocahontas and this by far is the best version I have heard of the true story of her.. I think that she was trying to keep peace

Pliz make more on art and music legends...man of science and great poets and writers...love your work

Some 600,000 or more of us trace back to her. The gentiel and gentry class of the old families of Virginia consider it an honored addition to their family tree. How much is left after 14 generations? A drop or two.

Thank you for this, I've been wanting a doc on her from your channel.

Thank you for sharing this video! It's truly beautiful and awesome

Love your content guys! Thanks For this ❤❤❤❤❤
