I will never understand, how the story of Pocahontas got so misconstrued. She was famous when she lived in England, and deserves to be remembered through-out history. However Pocahontas was famous, during her life-time, because she became "civilized".... which is another thing, most people seem do not understand.

It just does not make sense, why people romanticize Pocahontas' "relationship" with John Smith. The Disney film was not the first to do this, it is just the most well-known. Smith was a documented liar, and imfamous for exaggerating his adventures. When he claimed that she saved him, he was just doing it to ride off her fame.
