![]() Pocahontas is what we all know her by, but Chief Powhatan’s daughter had many names. Smith often tried to make himself out as the hero of the story and used it to get out of sticky situations, especially after he went down a dark path and tried for mutiny by the Virginia Company. Even with his written accounts, Smith was viewed as a liar and an embellisher. He bartered with Chief Powhatan for food and other goods until his return to England in 1609 after a gunpowder accident. After saving his life from her father Chief Powhatan, Pocahontas would help Smith translate and learn Algonquin during his time as their prisoner.
