Pocahontas: Truth and Fantasy
The story of Pocahontas is one of peace, friendship, and most importantly, love. ... Although the Disney portrayal of Pocahontas is based on a historically founded story, the presentation is inaccurate in the representation of the characters’ appearance and relationships, however, there are also several minor similarities.

Pocahontas was an Indian princess, the daughter of Powhatan, the powerful chief of the Algonquian Indians in the Tidewater region of Virginia. ... They named her Matoaka, though she is better known as Pocahontas, meaning “Little Wanton” because she was playful and hard to control. ...

In the movie, Pocahontas was illustrated as a beautiful woman in her twenties, however, she was actually twelve years old at the time she saved John Smith’s life.
