The #AngloPowhatanWars are three conflicts between the #VirginiaCompany colony #Jamestown and the #Powhatan nation. The third began #ThisDayInHistory in 1644 and resulted in a hard boundary between the two peoples... which lasted only until 1677, as #genocide was always implied.

The meeting between #JohnSmith of #Jamestown colony & the #Powhatan people, where he was saved from death by #Pocahontas (on #ThisDayInHistory in 1607), was mythologized. It was probably a ritual of adoption, as #indigenous Americans tried to integrate Europeans into their world.

#Wednesday morning walk at the #NCArboretum - this time the gate was unlocked and we got all the way to Lake #Powhatan and back.

It was 50F and not a hint of clouds.

Whilst relations between the colonists and #Powhatan were cordial at first, conflicts gave rise to the #AngloPowhatanWars from 1609 onwards. During this time, #Matoaka was kidnapped and put on board an English ship. But it was here she met the widowed tobacco trader, #JohnRolfe.

After being baptised, she was disowned by her people and set sail with #Rolfe for #England. There she was introduced at the court of #JamesVI and I, but died at the age of twenty-one in #Gravesend, #Kent.

My latest #poetry inspiration, is #Matoaka, born c. 1596 and also known to her native people as #Amonute. She was the daughter of #Powhatan, chief of one of the tribes of the #Tsenacommacah and is recorded by colonists in #Virginia as being fond of doing cartwheels in the marketplace as a child.

For this reason, she is known to the western world by her nickname '#Pocahontas', meaning 'playful one'.
