My character is a girl
MY She was a member of the Algonquian group of Native Americans.One day the Pamunkey tribe brought a white man named John Smith to Powhatan's village.Chief Powhatan felt that danger might come from the white men living on his land. The white men carried fire-sticks she thought the Indians should not be afraid of John Smith. She thought he looked like a friend.

Powhatan said that the Indians must enjoy a feast before talking. After the feast John Smith tried to tell the Chief that his people had come in peace and that there was much land to share. Powhatan said Smith must die. As one of the warriors raised a stone club to kill Smith, Pocahontas asked her father to give Smith to her. In Pocahontas's tribe women could save a prisoner by asking for the prisoner to be given to them. Powhatan let Pocahontas have Smith because he thought the white men might attack if they killed him. Powhatan's tribe adopted Captain Smith and gave him an Indian name Nantaquoud. They listened to him talk about his King and homeland. After many days Powhatan picked twelve braves to take Captain Smith to his people in Jamestown. The people of Jamestown were growing sick because they had little to eat. They did not know how to find food.She helped John Smith's people by bringing food. The settlers sent bells, mirrors, bright copper, and beads for the food. Powhatan was not pleased with these gifts because he wanted guns. The English King wanted to make friends with Powhatan. He sent gifts of a huge bed, a red silk cape, and a copper crown. When Powhatan refused to give the setters at Jamestown any more food Captain Smith and his men lifted their muskets. The Chief was angry. He gave the settlers food, but he said he would not forget this. Pocahontas heard her father say they would attack the white men after dark.She ran through the woods to warn Captain Smith of her father's plan. As time went by the setters in Jamestown learned how the hunt and plant the fields from the friendly Indians, but Powhatan had forbidden Pocahontas to visit Jamestown.
