波卡洪塔斯接觸英國人

稍後，史密斯敘述說波卡洪塔斯英雄式的拯救了他的生命，她不顧自身安危的擋在史密斯及其劊子手中間，並說服她的父親釋放他。許多歷史學家都質疑這段故事是否屬實。許多年後，直到1624年，史密斯版的拯救故事才出版成書。您能想到其他大部分人相信而從未發生的歷史故事嗎？像喬治華盛頓及櫻桃樹的故事呢？

史密斯上尉稍後被波瓦坦收養為名譽上的「兒子」，但那並不是唯一的一次波卡洪塔斯冒著生命危險，及族人對她的喜愛來保護她的新英國人朋友。

Smith later reported that Pocahontas heroically saved his life by throwing herself between him and his executioners and convincing her father to free him. Many historians question whether this story is actually true. Smith's account of the rescue was not published until 1624, many years later. Can you think of any other stories from history that most people believe never happened? What about the story of George Washington and the cherry tree?

Captain Smith was later adopted as an honorary "son" by Powhatan. But that was not the only time that Pocahontas would risk her life and the favor of her tribe to protect her new English friends.
