At the same time, equating someone who was essentially a peace blessing between two peoples to meaning that every native could be treated in such a fashion is not a good analogy. The reason we know Pocahontas is largely because of her uniqueness.

The point I was attempting to make was that some natives were members of the Episcopalian Church. There was an edict passed that stated Natives were to be converted to Christianity. The other point I was making is that my ancestors who were Mulatto, were members of the Episcopalian Church. I at no time stated that all Natives were Christians, or encouraged to be.

she actually wasn't that unique in terms of marrying the white colonists, it was pretty common (my own ancestor was a Powhatan girl named Anna Little Flower) but she made such an impact because of her position as the favored daughter of an important chief. She could and did aid the English in ways no one else could, and John Rolfe was from a very wealthy and prominent family, so that gave her entry to the court in England, which most native women marrying most white settlers would never be able to do.
