Jamestown Rediscovery has an excellent teacher resource site on Pocahontas and Jamestown Colony. I’d use it by noting the hyperlinked words [the words in blue] to create an outline then take some quick notes on what I learn to share with students. The site is packed with lots of primary source [meaning authentic] images of things like the seal of the Virginia Company with a picture of the king on it. Unfortunately the images don’t enlarge so I can’t print them out by themselves.

Chief Roy Crazy Horse of the Powhatan Renape Nation, an American Indian Nation located at the Rankokus Indian Reservation in Westampton Township, Burlington County, New Jersey has something to say about the Pocahontas story, especially the 1995 Disney film. I’m not saying “he’s right” or “he’s wrong” but in the interest of educating students as critical thinkers, there’s value in listening to both sides of a historical story.
