In 1596, Pocahontas, a Native American woman and daughter of Powhatan, was captured by English colonists during the Anglo-Powhatan Wars. She was taken to Jamestown and later converted to Christianity, adopting the name Rebecca. Pocahontas was eventually brought to England, where she became a symbol of the potential for peace between Native Americans and English settlers. She died in 1617, shortly after her marriage to Englishman John Rolfe.
