Write an essay on the Pocahontas story discussed here.
Controversy - a discussion on a history that has two sides.
However, only one side made it into the history textbooks.
Should the other side be told?
Pocahontas's story: If you questioned a Mattaponi Indian about
the story, it would sound more like a murder mystery than a
rescue love story.
For your follow up essay, please examine a history written by
the Mattaponi Tribe concerning the life and death of
Pocahontas.
Please read the The Pocahontas Archives.
http://digital.lib.lehigh.edu/trial/pocahontas/mattaponi.php
Remember, daughters of chiefs were sought by the English to
guarantee land and protection. Some historians claim that
Pocahontas was a needed insurance policy for plantation
farmers like Rolfe. Her death was a necessary evil to protect the
assets of the English tobacco industry.
The Mattaponi Indians indicate in their book that Pocahontas
was captured, raped, and impregnated before her marriage to
John Rolfe. To cover up this English abuse, John Rolfe agreed
to marry Pocahontas in order to prevent war over her treatment
and to protect his tobacco crop. The tribe also claimed that
Pocahontas was already married to a Mattaponi man named
Kocoum and had a son, but the colonial government viewed the
marriage null and void since it did not occur in a Christian
church. She was forced to travel to England in order to help
Rolfe save his people and keep hers from annihilation.
Follow up-
Summarize what you learned from the Mattaponi Tribe and
include in your analysis the debate between historians of
European descent and those that are Native American about how
to write the history of Indian peoples. Make sure you discuss
whether you agree or disagree, explaining why or why not, with
the Mattaponi version of the Pocahontas story.
You must cite sources using one of the three formats and
following your major's designated style: MLA, APA, CS, Kate
L. Turabian's Manual, and the Chicago Manual of Style (CMS).
YOU MUST CITE YOUR SOURCES!
