Pocahontas wasn’t her name, it was a nickname – it meant “little hellion” or “little troublemaker” in the Powhatan language. Her birth name was Matoaka
And when Captain John Smith knew her, she was twelve years old.
By the time she was as old as the model she was married to an Englishman, John Rolfe, and living in England, where she wore traditional English clothing of the time. She also changed her name to Rebecca Rolfe.
The model looks mildly familiar… Does anyone happen to know who she is?
Your Mother!
I only wish my mom was that hot – if she was I’d be better looking, too!
Are you aware of the saying: ugly parents make beautiful children?
If you believe that, I have some cake for you.
Hot.
Very Hot.
Is that paint on her arm or a tattoo?
It’s a birthmark.

This is what she actually looked like at the age of 21 – upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/5c/Pocahontas_by_Simon_van_de_Passe_1616.jpg/225px-Pocahontas_by_Simon_van_de_Passe_1616.jpg
The border says “Matoaka alias Rebecca Imperial Princess of the Powhatans of Virginia”
I know the movie sucks ass but that story is even lamer.

History is exciting.
I think 12 years old was legal at that time! lol…
Thanks for fucking things up!
You clearly can’t paint with all the colours of the wind.
Why didn’t you just post the wiki link you referenced instead of trying to look smart?
Actually, I knew most of it, there was a special on PBS about it a while ago. I just used Wikipedia for the image.
Here’s a link to the PBS special – www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/pocahontas/
Smart people watch PBS – you might try it sometime.

The model’s name is Sherri. Here’s the original post from the photographer’s site: ryanastamendi.blogspot.com/2009/08/pocahontas.html
Here’s her Model Mayhem page: www.modelmayhem.com/1321555
Seeing as the intent was “to make the character from the animated film come to life,” I’d say “good job.” Fuck history.
