Art

The art of Pocahontas is as interesting and nearly as full of controversy as her history and legend. The pages in this section will deal with images of Pocahontas that have peaked our imagination, set teeth gnashing, and in some cases, contributed to rumors and misinformation about her. I will also look at the 'Pocahottie' issue and its related topic, cosplay based on Pocahontas and Native American dress.
