Pocahontas, also known as Matoaka, was born Amonute and lived from 1596 until March 1617. She was a Powhatan-speaking Native American lady most known for her connection to the colonial settlement in Jamestown, Virginia. She was the daughter of Powhatan, the Tsenacommacah's supreme leader, who ruled over a network of tributary tribes in Virginia's Tidewater area. During the 1613 war, Pocahontas was kidnapped and held for ransom by English colonists. During her imprisonment, she was inspired to become a Christian and was christened as Rebecca. She married tobacco planter John Rolfe in April 1614, when she was around 17 or 18 years old, and she gave birth to their son Thomas Rolfe in January 1615.
