8. Which one do I trust? After reviewing all aspects of both sites, I would have to say that the Jamestown Historic site is the most reliable. This site gives recommendations for more information on the topic, and has multiple links that work. You can also find emails, and phone numbers of individuals who created the site for questions or more information on the topic. It also has detailed information for students to learn more about Pocahontas through different perspectives. Spectrums website had names of the writers but did not include and qualifications or means of communication to verify if it was reliable. It also had a copyright for 2011 which makes it current but you are unaware if all the information is accurate. Also many of the links did not work. Although this site is written towards a younger audience, the facts are to generic and do not include everything in her lifetime.
