PDF-(READ)-Pocahontas, Powhatan, Opechancanough: Three Indian Lives Changed by Jamestown

Pocahontas may be the most famous Native American who ever lived but during the settlement of Jamestown and for two centuries afterward the great chiefs Powhatan and Opechancanough were the subjects of considerably more interest and historical documentation than the young woman It was Opechancanough who captured the foreign captain ChawnzmitJohn Smith Smith gave Opechancanough a compass described to him a spherical earth that revolved around the sun and wondered if his captor was a cannibal Opechancanough who was no cannibal and knew the world was flat presented Smith to his elder brother the paramount chief Powhatan The chief who took the name of his tribe as his throne name his personal name was Wahunsenacawh negotiated with Smith over a lavish feast and opened the town to him leading Smith to meet among others Powhatans daughter Pocahontas Thinking he had made an ally the chief finally released Smith Within a few decades and against their will his people would be subjects of the British CrownDespite their roles as senior politicians in these watershed events no biography of either Powhatan or Opechancanough exists And while there are other biographies of Pocahontas they have for the most part elaborated on her legend more than they have addressed the known facts of her remarkable life As the 400th anniversary of Jamestowns founding approaches nationally renowned scholar of Native Americans Helen Rountree provides in a single book the definitive biographies of these three important figures In their lives we see the whole arc of Indian experience with the English settlers from the wary initial encounters presided over by Powhatan to the uneasy diplomacy characterized by the marriage of Pocahontas and John Rolfe to the warfare and eventual loss of native sovereignty that came during Opechancanoughs reignWriting from an ethnohistorical perspective that looks as much to anthropology as the written records Rountree draws a rich portrait of Powhatan life in which the land and the seasons governed life and the English were seen not as heroes but as Tassantassas strangers as invaders even as squatters The Powhatans were a nonliterate people so we have had to rely until now on the white settlers for our conceptions of the Jamestown experiment This important book at last reconstructs the other side of the story. : .
