Patawomeck Article Response
This article is very interesting. I was amazed when i found out that Pocahontas was real when i was little after watching the Disney movie. And i really didnt realize that her tribe was located so near where i live now. Its really amazing when you think about the past and see how it relates to what you are living today. It is sad though about the man named Green and how they are struggling to get their tribe recognised. It is also sad that the Smithsonian wont give him and the rest of their tribe the bones and artifacts back of their ancestors. I think its sad that in our world today that they have to struggle so much. I think that we dont give the Native Americans what they deserve. We treated them so badly in the beginning, and they really helped us survive when we first came here. If it wasn't for them, then we would not have had the same colonial survival as we had. The settlers in Jamestown were starving to death and the Indians helped them survive through the winter. We owe them, and the least we could do is to give them their artifacts back and recognise their tribe.
Now i leave you with this........

The evidence here supports that the obsession with comparing history to the Pocahantas movie in our class has grown contagious, and is nearing epidemic levels. Smallpox ain't got nothing on Disney.
Haha, Tom. But yes I think Pocahantas portrays the whole situation rather poorly, but again it isn't bad because after all she did exist. To be completely honest I think "The New World" )the new Pocahontas "real" movie( Is rather good.
I believe everyone should get off Pocahontas's back and just accept the movie as a wonderful Disney adventure. way to go Claire.
I support you nicole. Tell all of those Pocahontas haters. Nice response and movie Claire.
I agree that it is quite interesting that Pocahontas helped persuade tribal elders to provide food to the colony. Without the Indians, the settlers would not have been able to survive.
p.s. I LOVE THE VIDEO!
