Look no disrespect or anything but ppl really need to move forward everyone claims yo be so progressive yet they truly are not ! What our colonizers did was nothing unusual infact it happen to them too ! The blacks they brought with them once had them enslaved in Europe but they fought back regained control of the land they had built , in my honest most human opinion land cannot belong to any human for its our God given right to roam and settle where we choose especially back then in a less civil world , we should atleast pay homage that the colonizers foresaw the future rather than thinking only in the moment or we wouldn't have the system we have today we would still be running around just acting out and doing a bunch of Nothing right now

I was surprised when I found out that Pocahontas had several thousand descendants. There was a website from a person who did the ancestry. Pocahontas had one child, that child had one (grand)child, but then the grandchild had like seven kids and after that it was off to the races with each generation having multiple kids. Keep in mind since people married young, you could have 5 generations in 100 years. there are many “white” people who are descendants of Pocahontas by keep in mind after about 6 generations you only have 3% of DNA left from the ancestor. More generations than that and for all intents and purposes no genes are passed on. So Pocahontas has thousands of descendants but likely none of them have her DNA anymore.

Actually the portraits made of her were much more attractive than she really was. She was NOT an attractive woman. She was a powerful woman though, as her people and father were the head of the tribe in Massachusetts. She was ugly, as most women were then, but she had power, influence, and intelligence when she met with the European conquerors. History romanticized her, just like they've done most women in history before the photograph. She was NOT a pretty nor an attractive woman by today's standards anyway. She's had her portrait done numerous times, so I'm sure she was and is found attractive by a lot of people, but not everyone. As each has their own taste,, just as they always have and still do. History tends to recreate so-called heroes as attractive looking, rather than average or even ugly by standards of the times as well as later in history. That was because they were powerful and the people were grateful for their deeds, so they made them LOOK better than they actually were. Fat women were thought to be attracted back then as well, as it was a sign of wealth and privilege to be FAT. Attractiveness was different back then and according to a geographical area. Or a people. Just as today, people are thought to be attractive or ugly to people who were from the same area as they were. Also, they (people tended to) made portraits to be more attractive than the actual physical to represent their intelligence, power and standing in the communities they were from. Also, attractiveness is arbitrary to time/place and relationship to those whose opinion it was at THAT time and place. Fat women were more desirable because of the illusion they were of wealth and/or power, not because of their actual physical attractiveness. Cleopatra was ugly by today's standards, but in every movie, she's been portrayed, she's beautiful. But the paintings and the bust made of her were better representations of her real looks, and she was fatter, and not so pretty as the women who portrayed her in movies, just like most historical women were.

The other two are Sacagawea who traveled with Lewis & Clark, and La Malinche who was a lover and interpreter for Cortez. La Malinche is very controversial, considered by the natives a traitor rather than a heroine. She gave birth to the first mestizos in history. Pocahontas and Sacagawea are perceived as noble and kind, though, i.e., almost angelic. I'd love to see either of the other two. Maybe you've already done them; going to check for past videos.

On the topic of La Malinche, here in Mexico, we have the colloquial adjective "malinchista" to describe people that prefer foreign things or customs rather than their own ones (be it traditions, products, or others). And, although it's a common misconception, I remember in some history class I had that the first mestizos weren't the Maliche's children but Gonzalo Guerrero's and his wife's. I would totally recommend looking more into Gonzalo Guerrero and Jerónimo Aguilar's story as they were both prisoners of the Mayan natives but Gonzalo adopted the Mayan traditions and married Za’asil-Há (chief Nachancan’s daughter) and had children together, while Jerónimo became an interpreter for Hernán Cortéz.

@@karensims6376 I believe there are many of us decentants. My grandmother, who would have been her 11 great granddaughter was from Virginia and came to Colorado as a child per wagon train. So, I am a 13 th great grand daughter as your husband i s 13 great grandson.

Really lovely. My only protest is that the backgrounds are of the mountains, while Jamestown is in the Tidewater region of Virginia: a very flat coastal region. Pocahontas is a fascinating woman.

This has to be one of the most accurate and similar interpretations I have seen. Other reconstructions make them look like models or even a completely other women.

This broughtvtears of joy to my eyes..thank you! ❤

"To sleep, perchance to dream." We can only imagine what Matoaka was like and what the real story was.

A beautiful recreation on your part. I felt as if I could actually speak with her. Thank you. ❤️

I really appreciate how respectful you are to these people you reconstruct. Great job!

Thank you!

This was a beautiful birthday present for me. I didn't find it for a day, but it was uploaded on my birthday, and she is so beautiful. I wish I could have gone back in time and tell her everything I know now. But mostly that she's lovely, and I'm proud of how brave she is. I really wish I could tell her how important she is to this country. I want to tell her descendants that they're descended from one of the most beautiful women in history, but I think they already know. I love her, she should be the highest honor an American woman can achieve. Making peace through love is the ultimate power. I can't express how lucky I feel that this woman was featured on my birthday. Even that small connection is enough to make me feel closer to her. Thank you for making this video, it was entraining and informative.

Happy Belated Birthday!

This is beyond amazing! It's fantastic how you are able to let us glimpse into history through technology! Bravo! Btw, could you do a series for the Turkish Sultanate of Women? That would be really fascinating!

Thank you for bringing her back to life and presenting a more truthful historical account and depiction.

Wow, it's really amazing how you created such a realistic model from the painting! It's beautiful.

Love your recreations! The modern recreations seem more real to me. The artists then seem to have a dislike for beauty.

Amazing! I adore your recreations. Absolutely mind blowing & fascinating. Thank you 🙏🏼

I just discovered this channel and I'm hooked!!!! Amazingly well put together. Thank you!

My 10th Great Grandfather had John Smiths papers. From where he lead a settlement at James Town. My Grandfather was William W. Bradford and he was the first elected Governor of Plymouth Rock. They spent the first year on the ship Mayflower. While the settlement was being built. They was apart of wrong the Mayflower Doctrine. Captain Smiths papers help a great deal. So Smith was extremely important to history of early Americans. I don’t now if John Smith is in the huge painting in the White House but William and Dorthy Bradford are. This is a great video.

I confess, I love both in-their-own-time and modern recreations! It's helpful to understand their appearance in the context of their time but also imagine them as a person you could pass on the street! Seeing both offers that full arch, making it all the more magical (however, it goes without saying that it's more work for you!)

I like the "in-their-time" recreation the most, but I also like the modern recreations, is like seeing their descendants in a way, if that makes any sense.

Thank you for your moving restoration, not to mention your excellent narration: what a response it has created among viewers! Recently I found Vincent Schilling’s excellent 2017 article in Indian Country Today, “The True Story of Pocahontas: Historical Myths vs. Sad Reality”. Schilling recommends the book The True Story of Pocahontas: The Other Side of History [From the Sacred History of the Mattaponi Reservation History], by Custalow and Daniel, Fulcrum Publishing, 2007. This slim volume presents many details those of your readers who want to learn more about Pocahontas will find compelling.

Your interpretation is absolutely wonderful and much more believable, to me. Much appreciation for your time, research, and sharing your finds.

your recreation was beautiful. I adored the picture of her smiling.. It honestly brought tears to my eyes, You've given a face back to such a powerful, beautiful, and kind woman

She looks beautiful and courageous... Loved the way how you told the history

I love this video! So much history and so cool to see your interpretation of her face!!

Your work is incredible! Appreciate your efforts including the history at the start 😍

You have such an incredible talent! And your tone is always respectful as you delve into these amazing people from history. It has been such a treat to look through time, and feel so much more close to the past. Thank you!

Thank you so much!

I am fascinated by the concept of portraying past figures in modern imagery. I know someone who looks very much like the modern interpretation of Pocahontas that you provided here. That helps me to imagine what she was like in her day...

Fascinating story. She is an undervalued historic figure and an intriguing person to me. It's notable to me that, in the drawing and her recreation, she looks as though she was from India.

Wow, the Pocahontas story made me cry. Such an inspiration!

So pocahontas is a big part of my towns history. There are many stories of how historians have tried to find her body and make a nice grave for her but when she was buried that actual church was destroyed in a fire and a new church was built. No one has been able to locate her body which means she may have been buried under the new church 🤦‍♀️. Pocahontas will always be apart of Gravesend as she is layed to rest here and watching this really is an eye opener to what a remarkable women and beautiful women she was. Thank you 😊

Thank you for your comment! I always wondered if Gravesend has any kind of info / tour devoted to Pocahontas.

Excellent work ! Stunning ! Beautiful, strong, wise, intelligent woman with a beautiful soul. I've never heard her true story in a such details. Thank you so much, dear friend 🌹🌹🌹

I love the history of native Americans. And when you created this beautiful girl I got goosebumps. So realistic and fascinating .thank you 😊

moving. great work bringing her to life, not only in appearance, but her story

When the recreations smile it's like them saying you found me && it's my favorite part

Your work is absolutely amazing! Is there any way possible you can do Marie Laveau? I would love to see her and how she must’ve looked. Please🥺

Love both of your recreations and historical info. Thank you!!!

Thank you for depicting her in her native fashion. Beautiful all of your work is fascinating and amazing! Thank you

Absolutely beautiful re- construction that preserved her real image as a beautiful chieftains daughter…you have quite the gift…. Outstanding.

I have been fascinated by her story, tragic yet so significant for the American history. And I saw only that 1 true picture of her that was not really complementing her. Thank you so much for recreating her image. She is so beautiful! Those eyes! You can see so much peace in them. She was truly a peacemaker. Nobody can say no to those eyes and smile.

Recreation is very pleasing and since the modern native Virginian tribes have similar physiology it fits. Descendants of the Powhatan Confederation tribes still live in Virginia so it can be easily seen how well fitted your picture is. The shire was called Henricus which has a long i not the short i meaning it is pronounced HEN rye cus and the modern county is HEN rye co (just because the wrong pronunciation grates like shovel in gravel)

Amazing Job on the reconstructions!! your work is flawless and your videos are great , especially on a rainy evening!

I like both modern recreation and "in their own time" recreations. Both are fascinating! And gives a different perspective.

Pocahontas is my 14th great great grandmother. Thank you for telling her story. 💜
