This picture shows how Pocahontas saved John Smith's life from her father and his tribe. We don't know whether or not this is true because John Smith was known to exaggerate to make himself look more heroic. This picture could be literal in the sense that she did save his life, or it could be symbolic, meaning that she saved the colony from destruction. She was also credited for bringing the colony food every four to five days, and because of this she saved many lives.This picture is accurate in the sense that Pocahontas looks around the age of ten. She was very young and it is unknown whether or not her and John Smith had feelings for one another. This picture is inaccurate in the sense of how Pocahontas's father was going to kill him. In this picture he is holding a staff, but in the story it talked about how he had two stones that he was going to us to beat his brains with. The weapons that the Indians are pictured with are accurate because they were well known for their bow and arrow hunting skills.
