I really hope this doesn't come off as any kind of insult as that is honestly not ever now or in the future my intent. My daughter has a biography to do on the history of Pocahontas and I told her I would ask you guys about your own knowledge, views, and opinions of the history of this courages woman..... I really don't think American history books will ever come close to the true side of the story ever!!  :)

We thought it would be very interesting to be able to add view points and opinions to her project and make it more real perse'.... no scensorship is required.  Your real names and such are not necessary.  You will remain completely anonymous....this is an addition out of respect for the native tribes who truly belong here. .......This is also my way of providing her a little something about a history she's not taught in school which I too have little knowledge of that she should know.  Is there anything we should know further than what "they're" telling us?

email: jcandet@gmail.com if your up for it and would feel more comfortable this way

and from the bottom of our hearts thank you ...

Sincerely,

Love,

I guess all we were really after was your take on the story and how you feel about it.  Something that might be interesting to add to the story book she's making for school.  It would be an interesting thing for her to present to her fellow classmates and oppourtunity for you to teach them something that their text books may not have to offer them. my daughter Symphony has been asking everyday..."mama did your indian friends have anything to say on beliefnet about my story yet cause I'm really excited about it?" I said, be patient, someone will say something i'm sure.  "Tell them I said thank you when they do okay?" 

So, Tenlionz thank you for responding.  You've already said what you remember of the story the only thing left is how do you feel about it?

Blessings for your response!

sincerely,

Dear ten lions, This is Jessicas duaghter, Symphony. I know a lot about Pocahontas but I think you probably know more about her than I do, that's why I need your help! Well, if you wanted to get an  idea of what I know about her I only know what I've learned on the computer wich is, I know she had two names, one Rebecca, and the other Matoaka. The phowatan indians captured a englishmen named Jhon Smith, and Pocahontas told the phowaton to let him go. But thats only from what I heard.........Then Pocahontas became this great indian princess in this place called Jamestown, there she met another englishmen named Jhon Rolfe. Soon they got married and had one son named Thomas.  So thats all I really know.

 

Thank you for reading, Symphony.

Wow, I think you know as much as I do about her and even more, your a very smart young Lady. Your name is very beautiful and would be highly honored among NDN Peoples. NDN People love music and so those names given which are akin to music are names of great honor.  Very nice to make your acquaintance Symphony.

Feel free to bother me any time you like little Sister. Besides I may have a question for you some time, let me know how you did on your book report.
