I chose this project because it gave me a better understanding of the issues that Indigenous peoples have had to face and continue to face. This project allowed me to look at the Indigenous perspective and colonization in a different light. I inspected articles on the true story of Pocahontas and determined if they were authentic then, if they were, I contrasted them with Disney’s version of Pocahontas.
