Single-handedly dispelling the myth that Pocahontas was of-age during the time that John Smith and John Rolfe took interest in…

Of course, the Native American and English cultures repel. The Native Americans have a different perspective on Earth, captured in Pocahontas’ Colors of the Wind, property, and religion than the Europeans, focused on ownership, a product of imperialism. Moreover, English religion distorts colonial relations. Europeans decided that the Indians did not fit into the story of the Bible and, inherently, are not human. This misconception—and failed attempt to fit Native Americans into the European…

help the brains swelling go down. You’re supposed to only make one burrow hole but he did three. That killed to man but, when the archaeologist dug up his grave they found the damage of his skull and took note that he was murdered. The story of Pocahontas and the colony isn’t some Disney happily ever after story, there was war, murder, spies, the struggle of surviving and many other things. There is nothing happy in the true story of the Indians and the…

Beyond the Screen: Racism and Sexism in Entertainment When you hear the phrase Disney princess, do you first think of Mulan or Pocahontas, or a white princess like Cinderella or Snow White? Can you name any female directors? Is your ideal body image the same as the thin actors or actresses you see on TV? Movies and television programs undermine minorities and women.

They are treated like the minority and feel voiceless when it comes to proving their points. An…

Some 15,000 Powhatan Indians lived in small villages along and around the James River. They were loosely ruled by a great chief named Wahunsonacock. One of Wahunsonacock's daughters was the fabled Pocahontas, a very real person who would one day marry an Englishman and sail to England. When the English settlers arrived they built a fort on a place they called James Island. This was to become Jamestown. Of the 110 original settlers, only 40 would be…

Democratic-controlled states add up to only 19 percent of the population, or roughly one-third as much as Republicans control.” All this leaves the Democrats with a small bench. While they have some Senators which can be a force in the future (Pocahontas, Kamala Harris and Cory Booker) and I do expect at least one, if not all three, to be eventually nominated by the Democrats for President they all share a major problem. Like Hillary Clinton these are progressives from left wing area who…
