Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Powhatan tribe, which was named after its leader by the early settlers, had ongoing conflicts with the colonists. The greatly distorted legend of how Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas, saved the life of John Smith, the colonial leader, references a moment of relative peace between the groups. However, brutal attacks by the Powhatan in 1622 and again in 1644 lead to harsh reprisals that virtually eliminated the tribe. After the 1644 attack, Native Americans were forced onto reservations and banned from English settlements. In addition, the steady influx of European ensured that they would continue to lose their land.
