Pocahontas Our story starts in a Native American village in 1595.

The village is near the Atlantic Ocean. Powhatan is the chief of this village and of forty other villages, too.

One day, Powhatan’s wife has a baby girl. Powhatan calls her Matoaka. All the people in the village are happy.

Pocahontas

Matoaka grows up in the village. She loves living there. Her father is a chief, but she plays and works with the other children. She learns to help the people in the village. They plant seeds and grow food. Every year they have a lot of yellow corn and vegetables.

Matoaka is a happy girl. New things are very interesting for her and she loves games. The people in the villages start to call her Pocahontas: a name for a child who likes playing.

Pocahontas

When Pocahontas is about twelve years old, things change. Powhatan’s brother, Opecha, comes to Powhatan’s home.

“There are many ships. White people are arriving,” he says.

Powhatan is angry. “I’m worried about these people,” he says. “They want to live here and to take our land.”

Pocahontas is listening and she is very excited. “New people are here,” she says, and runs to watch them.

But she is careful; she doesn’t want the white men to see her.
