The True Story of Pocahontas and Jamestown
This is the type of "real" history that students love, when you pull back the curtain of lies and myths to reveal a truth that is just as interesting as fiction.

I usually show a clip or 2 from the Disney Movie to get everyone's interest piqued (I suggest the "Colors of the Wind" song, followed by the famous moment when she suppos
