We all know the basic overview of what Pocahontas is all about. The real Pocahontas was married off to a colonizer when she was around the age of fourteen. She then trotted around as a “savage” until she got sick and died. Her culture and relatives all were killed off. However, the Disney production we all have come to know and love kind of fluffed the movie out quite a bit. It downplays the actual historical relevance that it is and gives off this false sense of reality. Pocahontas is a brutal and sad story, and Disney seems to downplay it and tries to falsify what actually happened.
