Rebecca Rolfe, commonly known as Pocahontas, was a Native American woman of the Powhatan people. She is best known for her association with the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, and her relationship with Englishman John Smith. In 1614, she married John Rolfe, a tobacco planter, which helped establish a period of peace between the settlers and her tribe. After her marriage, she was baptized as Rebecca and became a symbol of the potential for harmony between Native Americans and Europeans.
