34: Pocahontas Gets Kidnapped! (Part 4)

34: Pocahontas Gets Kidnapped! (Part 4)

In this episode, tensions rise and true crime abounds. And, like an old timey episode of Dateline, it starts off peachy keen! Pocahontas married a warrior. She had a child. She lived what seemed to be a happy, normal life. But being the favorite daughter of Chief Wahunsenaca put a target on her back. It wasn’t long before English settlers decided to kidnap her.

Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources! For this episode, Norm pulled from:
