Wedding of Pocahontas to John Rolfe

Illustration showing a large gathering of Native Americans and English colonists for the wedding ceremony between Pocahontas and John Rolfe. Pocahontas (1595-1617) was an Algonquian Indian remembered for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia. She was the daughter of Chief Powhatan, the head of a network of tributary tribal nations in the Tidewater region of Virginia. She is said to have saved the life of an Indian captive, Englishman John Smith, in 1607 by placing her head upon his own when her father raised his war club to execute him. Pocahontas was captured by the English during Anglo-Indian hostilities in 1613, and held for ransom. During her captivity, she converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. She married tobacco planter John Rolfe on April 5, 1614.
