Pocahontas was a pre-teen who was kidnapped, held hostage & raped by European invaders. Stop using her name as a racial slur & how dare you insult these brave Native men who risked their lives for this country. https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/935235170487201794 …
The prominent journalist set the President straight with a heartbreaking history lesson.

So the Sioux girl from out west thinks she knows to what tribe Pocahontas was??
Welllll, I happen to be From Indiana, where much of the French & Indian (mostly Iroquois& Algonquin) & British war was fought.
By my recollection of Elementary and Middle school history, and family genealogy, Pocahontas Was Algonquin! She.saved John Smith from execution and later married john Rolf. I haven't heard that she was a Pre Pubescent teen before or anything like that but, this is Indiana history, MY history, and what I've been taught my whole life. Learn a little about the Great man Tecumseh and what he almost accomplished while you're at it, if you like!

This is such bs! This chic may be an attny but she doesn't know squat about history!
Pocahontas was kidnapped while.visiting friends, a white fur trader and his Native wife! Her father had stolen wagons of "supplies", I'm thinking "guns" from the British.
They wanted their "supplies" back and were holding her for ransom when, she met and fell in love with John Rolf!
Do you really think they raped Powhatans daughter, taking the chance he may learn how to use those guns and rain hellfire down on them? Highly Doubtful!!!
God,,, Is it so Damn hard to believe she liked White Boys????!!!
