    As a Native American Pocahontas was my favorite Disney princess because I felt like I was getting represented. I still feel this way but I do think it is important for people to know the real story of Pocahontas. Also as far as how natives were shown in movies Disney could of done a lot worse.

      This story may have been liberties taken butniys not 100% wrong. She did end up becoming friends with Him and she did gies as a representative for her people and married John Rolfe. She was actually HAPPY in later life and yes she died young but then ahain...so did everyone during that time

    I'm a Native and as a kid I liked this movie, moreso the old Peter Pan movie's Natives like Princess Tigerlily though. But it was mostly because I had no idea these were racist portrayals at the time. It was the ONLY representation I ever saw growing up so it was all I had to cling to. Nothing else showed people like my dad's side of the family besides history books. It's sad to me now but I was a child and didn't know any better.

I loved Disney growing up, and I loved these movies especially because they had Natives in it, but growing up, and learning the real stories, and watching it get downplayed, when Disney could've gone with different characters or not this story in particular than it wouldn't have been too bad, because this, just practically erases her real story.

    What I love about this is how even tho they were tryna rep native Americans they STILL manage to implement a white saviour complex and make native ppl look bad. Like they had the one colonizer as the all bad guy while most of the other colonisera were decent, meanwhile most native ppl were bad except for pocohantis her friend and her tree grandma who embraced colonizers? Plus the whole scene of her saving John was acc fabricated by the real life John to say that this eleven year old girl saved him when we know from documents by the natives that were recognized at the time that nobody ever saved him he wasn’t even going to be executed, the only time they talked is when she greeted them at arrival, so when she goes “look where the oath of violence has brought us” I’m always like WHAT PATH whjskskkwd i hate white ppl writing the stories of poc

    I really loved this movie as a child and the message is great, at least it was for me because i became a better person. You still know it is not the way it happened and that settlers where even more shit, but the message is about bridging differences, acceptens of others and their culture, learning from each other, coexistence and peace. So even if i understand recent backlash, i think it is stupid because the intent was never to hide what happened, only to learn lessons from what we did wrong back then from a young age. You still learn what really happened at a later age.
    And the outcome from this movie is that i became a "hippie", loving everyone and the earth....^^
    I also love many of the songs, especially Color of the wind
    And my little 6-10 yr old white ass researched Native Americans like crazy, their needlework and everything.....i even made authentic
    moccasins and clothing out of curiosity and respect....in the deep forests of Sweden over 25 years ago.

      I loved Pocahontas. In fact it was my favorite Disney movie throughout my childhood to mid teens and still one of my favorites soundtrack wise, but it is not stupid for have backlash towards this movie, especially Native Americans, who many have never liked the movie, as it delibertly take someone else's story of their history and culture, changes the whole thing and fed it to children at that. Almost non of this happened. The story is loosely based on a story a grown man wrote about his time in America, including about a young native girl having a crush on him. A young girl who was not only kidnapped, but raped as well as other things. On top of that, his story is possibly not even true as it's been debated if John Smith was even there. Pocahontas' story is very much a tragedy up until her very young death. Her story is completely romanticized and it's very offensive. You can intend to not be offensive, doesn't make you any less offensive. This movie DOES hide what happened. Especially since we are often not taught what really happened in this country. A lot of times, we have to find out for ourselves. We are taught a lot of false history as it pertains to this country, especially from a young age. I understand what the message they wanted to send, but it was wrong for them to do it with the retelling of this story imo...

The movie is not true at all, only the lessons. And i don't know how they can make a movie that is true with the lessons, and the lessons is the more important part at a young age because it always stays with you and makes a change for the future and the thought process of future generations. The truth does the same thing but at a later stage and this movie is for young children.

      @@pjukas I understand that this movie taught you some beautiful lessons and was very important for you in your childhood, but it's still offensive to take someone's real life story of suffering and turn it into a palatable romance for children. The same lessons could have been taught without erasing a real person's store and using her real name, the storyline they created is entirely fictional anyway. Besides that you assume everyone is eventually taught Pocahontas's real story when that's just not true. Right now you should take a step back and listen to the voices of indigenous people who to this day still suffer the consequences of colonialism and have their history erased or romanticized by media like Pocahontas

It's a slap in the face to Native Americans and their history in this country. Again, a lot of people aren't taught the truth of this country's history. You would think that's what history classes are for, and yet. A lot of times, we have to find out the truth on our own. Luckily we live in an age where that information is provided for us with a few clicks of a computer, but very often we go through our childhood to adulthood filled with lies or omitted truth because that's what we're taught...
      Imagine someone taking your story, change practically everything about what happened to help make the ones who have destroyed you look better than they actually were, erase the true horrors you lived, all because they wanted to present a certain message.

If the answer is that you don't, then you miss all the seed you can plant in a child's mind for a better future. And yes, not everyone learn the truth. I'm only speaking from my education and my perspective in that case.
      On the other hand we as children i school read "om detta må ni berätta" at the age of 11, but that was only in Scandinavia and that is very graphic about the holocaust. And that also left a deep mark in my persona...look it up.
      Maybe you could do something similar with all the other big atrocities in history for children so that they learn.

    Ok so you've met one Native American in your life, but does that give you the right to joke and poke fun at Native Americans as a whole on a reaction video? What if I were to react to a black movie like Roots or django or even Harriet and poke fun at that? When I watched this reaction being a Native from Montana, I felt DISRESPECTED at the fact you only seen the story from one perspective without taking in the meaning behind the movie. You never considered the message the movie told.
