Synopsis
This play is a dramatic account of a historical legend stemming from the first American colony at Jamestown. Chief Powhatan's favorite daughter, Pocahontas, and her sister, Woussicket, are giving thanks to the gods for an abundant harvest when they are surprised by two white men from the starving Jamestown colony who beg for food. Powhatan refuses them, and sends them away empty-handed, but Pocahontas secretly befriends the settlers by sharing her own corn with them. In this, she is discovered and betrayed by her jealous sister, and the two men are captured. Their leader, John Smith, is sentenced to die when Pocahontas, at great risk to herself, intercedes for him and persuades her father to save the little colony from starvation.
