Her name was actually Madowaka; Pocahontas was a childhood nickname. What she's most famous for was entirely made up by John Smith. They never met; good thing too--she would have been like 10 years old. She did not marry that wannabe child molester. She married John Rolfe, not knowing that he would take her away to the far away country of England. She lived there, died & was buried in Gravesend without ever seeing her people again.
