scripts in the spring of
0:17
1607 three ships landed on the shores of
0:21
what is now America about 100 men no
0:24
women were asked to come stepped onto
0:27
the sand to start a new life
0:31
the men built 20 cabins and a fort to
0:34
surround and protect the
0:36
cabins they called their new town
0:39
Jamestown but they were not the only
0:41
ones living on that
0:43
land up and down the coast and for miles
0:46
into the woods lived tribes of Native
0:49
Americans This is the land that is now
0:52
called
0:53
Virginia back then it was called the
0:56
patan
0:57
Confederacy one Chief ruled over were 30
1:00
tribes in the patan Confederacy and his
1:03
name was patan Chief patan's Scouts told
1:08
him that ships had landed on Shore and
1:10
new men had built a fort and cabins they
1:13
told him the new men spoke in words no
1:16
one had ever heard before they wore
1:20
clothes no one had ever seen before what
1:23
poan wanted to know most of all was
1:27
where did these strangers come from why
1:30
were they here what did they intend to
1:32
do and how would he become their chief
1:36
his Scouts told him other news too that
1:40
was most odd they had planted no crops
1:43
around the fort no canoes were anywhere
1:46
near the fort and the men did not even
1:48
stand by the river to fish the men did
1:52
not go into the woods to hunt either
1:55
they had no arrows and
1:57
Bows thought patan these men do not know
2:00
how to plant ride a canoe fish or hunt
2:05
it will be easier than I thought to be
2:07
their
2:08
Chief we will bring food to them corn
2:12
beans and squash without us they will
2:15
starve then I patan who rules 30 tribes
2:19
will rule over them
2:21
too father let me come with you said
2:24
patan's daughter
2:26
Pocahontas no one had seen her slip into
2:29
the long house I want to see the fort
2:31
too surely not said her father you have
2:35
work to do here when you were done you
2:38
may play with your
2:39
sisters I play with them every day said
2:43
Pocahontas father please let me come
2:46
with you patan
2:48
smiled ah my princess he said how can I
2:52
say no to that face okah hontas beamed
2:56
at long last an adventure she felt sure
3:00
that if she had to sew one more moccasin
3:03
or fill one more basket with berries she
3:05
would burst so Chief potin leading a
3:09
number of Scouts carrying baskets of
3:11
corn beans and squash and with
3:14
Pocahontas beside them all went to the
3:18
Fort when they got there they sat down
3:21
the baskets and stepped back in a minute
3:25
the men of Jamestown in their odd
3:27
clothes and speaking their odd Lang
3:29
language came out of the fort to greet
3:32
the visitors with smiles the gift was
3:36
accepted poaha saw something else that
3:39
made her smile too boys a bit older than
3:43
she also came out with the men of
3:46
Jamestown she waved to the boys and they
3:49
waved back when the adults were trying
3:51
to talk to each other using their arms
3:54
and hands she said to them want to
3:57
play they did not understand her words
4:01
but soon they were showing her how to
4:02
play tag and stick ball and she was
4:05
showing them how to do
4:07
cartwheels after a while potin called
4:10
Pocahontas it's time to
4:13
go every four or 5 days after that
4:16
Pocahontas came back with the others to
4:18
the Fort each time paten Scouts carried
4:22
corn squash and
4:24
beans sometimes for a special treat
4:27
maple sugar too Pocahontas learned the
4:31
names of her new friends James Nathaniel
4:35
Richard and
4:36
Samuel and they learned her
4:39
name she also learned the name of their
4:42
leader John
4:44
Smith the days became shorter and the
4:47
rain stopped coming the corn and the
4:49
fields dried up the squash and the beans
4:53
and the vine dried up berries on the
4:55
bushes dried
4:57
up we cannot take food to the Fort
5:00
anymore said poan we need to save all we
5:03
have so our people make it through the
5:05
winter we must go to the fort and tell
5:08
them when the men in the fort understood
5:11
the news they got angry they marched
5:14
into their cabins they came out with
5:16
guns and shot the guns into the sky
5:19
howan got angry too he said I warn you
5:23
white men do not go anywhere near our
5:25
village if you do you will be
5:28
sorry the men of Jamestown could not
5:31
understand what patan was saying but
5:33
they could tell from his face that they
5:35
were no longer friends sometime after
5:38
that John Smith was going through the
5:40
woods looking for food he was close to
5:43
the Village of paten Too

5:52
Smith down to the ground and took him
5:54

5:58

6:01
the people in the
6:03
fort that winter John Smith could not
6:06
leave patan's Village still the Native
6:09
Americans made him feel as comfortable
6:11
as a prisoner can be Pocahontas also
6:14
spent time with him day after day they
6:17
would teach each other the language that
6:19
each other's people
6:22
