波卡洪塔斯想要瞭解新殖民並與他們成為朋友。她的溫暖天性及天生的好奇心得到英國人的喜歡及信任。其中一個殖民史密斯上尉表示她的外表、智慧及友好個性都「遠遠超過了其他的波瓦坦人。」但不是所有的波瓦坦人都如此的好奇及友善。160711月,史密斯遭捕並被囚禁在酋長波瓦坦的首都   Werowocomoco。

Pocahontas Meets the English
Pocahontas got to know and make friends with the new colonists. Her warm nature and natural curiosity led the English to like and trust her, as well. One of the colonists, Captain John Smith, said that her appearance, intelligence, and friendly personality "much exceedeth any of the rest of Powhatan's people." But not all of Powhatan's people were so curious and friendly. In December 1607, Captain Smith was captured and held at Chief Powhatan's capital, Werowocomoco.
