		+	==The story of Pocahontas[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pocahontas]==
		+
		+	[[Pocahontas]] was a Native American woman closely associated with the early history of the colonial settlement at Jamestown, Virginia, who saved the life of Colonist John Smith in 1607. She later converted to Christianity and became known as "Rebecca", marrying a tobacco planter called John Rolfe. The couple later travelled to London, where she became something of a celebrity. She died in England, aged 20 or 21, and is buried in St George's Church, Gravesend in England.
