After exploring the various perspectives surrounding the story of John Smith and Pocahontas, I argue that Disney does not have a social responsibility in falsifying the history of the Powhatan Indians.

After exploring the various perspectives surrounding the story of John Smith and Pocahontas, I argue that Disney shouldn’t be held socially responsible for their presentation of history. I believe in this to be true because there are already sources out there to present history accurately. Educators shouldn’t have to rely on Disney movies to teach their students an accurate representation of what actually happened.
