This a very well know story so I won't dwell on it too much.
Captain John Smith was one of the head honchos at the Jamestown settlement. He, unlike many others, believed that the Native Americans were not ignorant savages but highly developed people just like himself. He helped build a fort protecting Jamestown. One day while he was out scouting he was captured by the Powhatan Indians and taken back to their camp to go on trial. The chief of the Powhatans decided to kill Captain Smith but before he could, his daughter Pocahontas rushed forward to protect Captains Smith and saved his life. Captain Smith and Pocahontas would go on to become very close friends and there was peace between the Natives and the Settlers
