It didn’t dawn on me on Tuesday, but I forgot that in the movie Kokoum dies and Pocahontas never marries him. That and the tribe calls her Pocahontas (English name) and not the two names mentioned in class. On another note, John Smith is liked and almost idolized by his crewmates and the same governor stays in charge throughout the ship ride over and until the end of the movie where he gets hog-tied and shipped back to England.
