Thank you so much, Your Native Friend. I have been saying this for ages. It's become too easy to glamourize the abuse, colonialism, paedophilia, etc, to make monsters feel better about themselves.
Rewriting history is the easiest way to soften dastardly, criminal acts.
Would it be that easy if John Smith had been a grown Indigenous man spending time with and wanting a little white girl? I think the Indigenous man's body would have had several bullets pumped into him.
History, the real history, has shown us that colonizers take what they want and see often with violence.
It's disgusting and sad and I thank you for writing about the true history of "Pocahontas."
