Pocahontas but not as you know her by Freyja

Hello dearest readers,

I'm sure you all remember the story of Pocahontas. The way Disney portrayed the story in their famous movie franchise was one of interracial forbidden love between a headstrong beautiful Native American woman and a kind hearted white settler from England with an American accent. (Go figure). The story progresses between Pocahontas rebelling against her father, the tribe leader, escaping to her "grandmother" willow tree, and secretly meeting with the mysterious white man John Smith. 
In the end Pocahontas gets caught with John Smith by her betrothed who gets jealous and tries executing Smith on the spot. Then when Smiths party tries taking over the Native's land, the man betrothed to Pocahontas is quick to tell the tribe leader that she was in love with a white man. Blah blah blah. However, such as common with the other Disney Princess movie franchises (i.e. Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, etc.), Disney covered up the real story. 

In the true story, it does not end with John Smith peacefully leaving on his ship and Pocahontas waving goodbye in the sunset. Here's what really happened...

The part about John Smith coming from England and meeting Pocahontas is true. What Disney didn't tell you was that Pocahontas was actually only 8 years old at the time and John Smith was around 30 years old. Talk about pedophilia.

It gets worse,Smith lied and manipulated little Pocahontas into thinking he was a kind man so that he could later take advantage of her. Sure enough he did. Smith ended up capturing and kidnapping Pocahontas, and she went back to England with Smith and the rest of his party as a hostage. While aboard the ship she was raped and abused repeatedly by John Smith and the rest of his crew. When they got back to England he took her home for himself and got her pregnant a few years later. It was many years later when she somehow escaped the brutality-finding happiness when she fell in love with another man named John Rolfe.

Next time you watch Disney's version of Pocahontas, remember the true story.

In wisdom,
Freyja
