The true story of Pocahontas : the other side of history : from the sacred history of the Mattaponi reservation people

Custalow, Linwood, author.
Book 2007

For nearly 400 years people have heard the Euro-American rendition and interpretation of events that transpired between the English colonists and the Powhatan Indians. The true story of Pocahontas is the first public publication of the Powhatan perspective that has been maintained and passed down from generation to generation within the Mattaponi Tribe, and the first written history of Pocahontas by her own people.
