You would have been the fuck toy for the warriors. You would spend most of your time being guarded by black runaways, that would give themselves the black (name of the tribe). And each of the men would have there try

The Pocahontas clan has a very big boycott on Disney cartoon's version of Pocahontas in 1994.

No nose? Jk that’s kind of mean

She was a child and raped. The real story is heartbreaking.

What brave women speaking out?

@@DonnellOkafor-pd7yn historical women I mean.

Speaking out about what? Not sure what you mean.

She wasn't attacked and ended up pregnant. That was apocryhic tale. The only known pregnancy happened AFTER her wedding to Rolfe - they married in April and Thomas was born exactly nine months later. There is no evidence for any physical abuse. Everything points out to her being treated well and having good marriage.

Most of this is just speculation. John Smith was a known liar and orally transmitted histories are no more reliable to be honest. All we know for sure are the very basic details of the story like her approximate date of birth, the fact that she died at a young age after reaching Britain and that she had a child, probably with Rolfe. Beyond that everyone talking about the story today is just injecting their own biases into it. Native people have an interest to point at only the possible abuse and exploitation of the story, Americans and Brits try to gloss over these aspects and romanticize the whole thing. I'm coming at this as someone from a corner of Europe that had nothing to do with colonialism in general. None of us, not the natives today who try to retell her story through their own lense, not Disney and their romanticized children's story and certainly not the people here in the comments understand what was in her mind and her heart. Her "real story", whatever it was, isn't being told by any of these groups because sadly, like the story of 99% of the people who've ever lived on this planet, it died with her. She didn't leave us her own words and, barring any invention of a time machine, we will never know her feelings on any of this.

Absolutely spot on she is one of the first MMIW.

@@burkphotography2615 Complete nonsens. She is not. She was never abused, her only know child was from marriage that was - as far we can tell - love match, and she passed away because of illness. Find other examples for yourself.

​@@pendragonsxskywalkers9518i agree people in power seem to always get away with it though

just to be clear it wasnt just her sex it was her station in life. An upper class women had far more oppurtunities than a working class male, back then and also today!

@@pierzing.glint1sh76. Not sure what you mean by opportunities ~ upper class women’s only purpose in life was to marry and have children. They had a more comfortable lifestyle than a working class man, but opportunities? No.

@verenamaharajah6082 what are these opportunities that you speak of for working class men ? They r either slaving in the fields or in the factories 12 hours a day. What opportunities they had ? Just because they don't physically bear children doesn't mean now they can do anything they want

Woman are in charge in the American Indian culture. She had no opportunity’s she was raped and murdered as a child by yt.

@@verenamaharajah6082 im saying it wasnt just her sex Upper class people have more opportunities just in general An upper class woman is going to have a better education than a woman (and a man) from a poorer area or from a lower class. A better education doesn't just mean access to books, it means the people you know and who you have access to. eg who are the people your family rubs shoulders with. I postulate that classism is just as perverse as sex discrimation, it just isn't as obvious.

Who cares about this moor

🤣

Never heard of them

Well flashgitz aren't lying, she was still a child (10 yr old) when he fell in love with her. No one is going to admit they fell in love with a 10 Yr old and snuck her around her father's back till she was 15 , i learned that from the hidden dark history. I read that he took her when he got wounded , she was only 15 years old, Thanks flashgitz for accurate history 💯

Donald J Trump would do that with a pre-teen

Well it’s not a story to laugh at?

😂😂

LOL... no thanks!

Since any outsider would immediately stand out, who do you suspect is taking the indigenous women? What changes would you propose, dissolving the Reservations?

😂

@@willgibbons1733 🤣🤣🤣

for what?

😂😂😂

huh?

Ur full of shit

Cry me a river😭

Actually “we are” meaning enrolled are American Indian. If “we” don’t consider ourselves that our treaties hold no ground. So we use our legal given name not indigenous because anyone like you were, were born in America would be considered indigenous.

Black Ameru Khans were already on Turtle's back when Otter brought up the First Dirt. "Indians" were Asian colonizers. So when do you propose that an invasive species becomes "native" or "indigenous"?
