Haha - I wouldn't care so much about Pocahontas, if it wasn't literally my -family- history. (We're an offshoot of the Powhatan tribe - and actually were the tribe responsible for capturing (and wanting to behead) John Smith! *lol*)

You gotta remember, that movie was released in 1953 (the play is even older); it was a different time, and people weren't "politically correct" then. I don't remember thinking anything strange about that number as a kid, but I'm also not a Native American :D
