Background Info.on
Pictures, drawings, paintings and engravings are invaluable clues to a culture’s way of life. We can examine dress, surroundings, objects or activities in which they participated, among other things. We can also view events through other’s eyes by looking at their perspectives as shown in the drawing or photo under study.
Pocahontas presents an interesting study, because she filled so many roles during this time period: daughter of Chief Powhatan, intermediary between the English and the Powhatan Indians, Christian convert (Rebecca), and wife of John Rolfe. In addition, she interacted with the settlers at Jamestown, as well as the elite in England.
The portrait of Pocahontas is a 1616 engraving by Simon van de Passe produced while Pocahontas was in England. The print was rushed into print shortly after that. The purpose of the print was to publicize her visit and to attract investors in the Jamestown colony, so the portrayal was created from the perspective of the English. The portrayal was one of well-dressed affluence but not extravagance. She is dressed as an Englishwoman, demonstrating her adoption of English ways. Yet, she has the high cheekbones and dark hair and eyes of the Powhatans. Pocahontas seems to look proudly at the viewer. Her fan of ostrich feathers denoted royalty.

We all have different ways we have of learning about what happened years ago and of learning about the people who lived then. These include studying artifacts, examining remains of structures, analyzing documents, oral histories. Have you ever seen pictures of members of your families from years ago. What did you notice about the pictures that might look different from pictures today? Look at some pictures in their history texts. Are there any that are photographs or drawings of people or places from long ago? What can they tell about the person or times from looking at the picture?

Read all information thats attached.

On the Picture Analysis Worksheet you will explain the picture of Pocahontas. Explain who Pocahontas was, her role as a Powhatan girl and her interaction with the Jamestown colony.

Students should discuss among themselves the questions on the worksheet but they do not have to agree on the answers. Encourage students to have reasons for the answers they choose.
