Half-breed Cree girl

Her parents knew her as "Amonte" and her secret clan name was "Matoaca." She has been revered as the "mother" of our nation, the female counterpart to George Washington. We know her as Pocahontas, legendary Indian princess, daughter of the mighty Algonquin Chief Powhatan. After her marriage to John Rolfe in 1614, they moved to England where she was treated as royalty. Her many European Christian friends called her "Lady Rebecca." She was the first native American in Virginia to convert to Christianity. She was named "Rebecca" after her Anglican baptism.
