Pocahontas used to be my favourite movie. Beautiful music, especially this song. I love the intention, that we are all human, all equal. We need to appreciate nature. But then I did some research and found out the real Pocahontas was actually kidnapped by an American, makes more sense so it was actually a sick adaptation. I can't imagine how Pocahontas's descendants feel now, knowing that their history was sabotaged and turned into a kids movie! Now this beautiful story has lost most of its appeal to me although I may never be able to hate this song. It just seems pure still.

Where did you do your research? Pocahontas was captured by the English in hopes that she could be ransomed for English hostages captured by her father Chief Powhatan. She never saw a prison but lived with a Vicar and his wife where she converted to Christianity.
After been given the chance to return home to her own people she refused wanting to stay with the English. She fell in love with an Englishman named John Rolfe she was baptised and changed her name to Rebecca and then married with her father Chief Powhatan's blessing. They had a child together...

Unfortunately she died (it is thought to have been from Tuberculosis) in her early twenties and is buried at St Georges Gravesend in Kent England.
There is nothing "sick" about the film whatsoever, The only thing that's nonsense is the romance between herself and John Smith.
The native Americans have far more to be annoyed about then a Disney Cartoon.
The song is fantastic.
