Pocahontas Response Paper-American History

In this paper, you must draw from the case study of Pocahontas to discuss how the historical facts of her life and the popular culture representations about her differ.  What does this tell you about the story of Pocahontas?  What is its power?  How might this story be an example of the settler logic of elimination.  Draw from at least two of the readings and the film.

The response paper should make a strong claim, supported by evidence, and make a conclusion in 2-3 pages.
