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.

Légende:
Traduction automatique: Illustration montrant un grand rassemblement d'Amérindiens et de colons anglais pour la cérémonie de mariage entre Pocahontas et John Rolfe. Pocahontas (1595-1617) était une Indienne algonquienne connue pour son association avec la colonie de Jamestown, en Virginie. Elle était la fille du chef Powhatan, à la tête d'un réseau de nations tribales tributaires dans la région de Tidewater en Virginie. On dit qu'elle a sauvé la vie d'un captif indien, l'Anglais John Smith, en 1607 en plaçant sa tête sur la sienne lorsque son père a levé sa massue de guerre pour l'exécuter. Pocahontas a été capturée par les Anglais pendant les hostilités anglo-indiennes en 1613, et retenue contre rançon. Pendant sa captivité, elle s'est convertie au christianisme et a pris le nom de Rebecca. Elle a épousé le planteur de tabac John Rolfe le 5 avril 1614
