While reading the book, Pocahontas and the Powhatan Dilemma, I learned a great deal about early Indian life, in a way I had not before. Of course, in grade school you learn about “Pocahontas” but not in the way Camilla Townsend describes her. I started this book not really knowing what to expect besides to learn more than I had previously known. I know recently a lot about history has come up for discussion in ways it has never before. Native Americans and Africa Americans have been a topic of discussion for the past few years, shedding light on their history.
When one considers historical development from 1607-1865 in what eventually became the United States of America, it is though the unraveling of a detrimental marriage was being enforced with people.

When contrasting the differences between John White’s watercolor drawings and De Bry’s engraving, De Bry changed the pictures by portraying more friendly Indian people and safe village in America. Therefore, America would be acceptable to European and motivate European to move here.

In the first set Indian Woman and Young Girl, there are many changes between watercolor drawings and engraving.

Surprisingly, Native American women had more freedom than the white women in the Chesapeake, Middle Colonies, or New England region. Some Native American women were given rights such as controlling land, political power, marriage and divorce in choice.

The author goes on to debate what Pocahontas actually felt in her relationship with John Smith and how she most likely did not reciprocate the feelings he claimed she had. This may be new information to the reader and provides historical difference of the real Pocahontas from the Hollywood version while strengthening Townsend’s argument. Also, the author does not use challenging language in her own writing. She keeps her own wording basic as to give the readers a break from the difficultness of the old language. Another positive aspect of this book is the notes section and the preface.
Munster explains the Native Americans from their initial encounter from his perspective; he describes their physical characteristics (women), social institutions, and social context (27). In Munster descriptions of the Native American woman he describes how smooth and their bodies are as well as how fertile she is.

All though this is such, the two share the love for adventure, kindness towards animal, peacemaking individuals, and both will risk their lives for one another. The message told by watching the film is since they are from different races the relationship will not work. In 1607 a ship carrying John arrives in the “New World” of North America.
