I already knew that the Disney movie is historically inaccurate and that the original history was romanticized to appeal to a wider audience.

I didn't know that the name Pocahontas was actually just a nickname.

Disney songs are so good!
But the content of course is not accurate.

Pocohantas may not have really saved John Smith and the story was just spun this way even if it may not have been true.

I learned that art can be used to glorify history in a way that is often highly inaccurate, so artists must be careful about this.

I was really surprised at the big age difference between Pocahontas and John Smith.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that Pocahontas's name was actually Amonute and not Pocahontus.

I always knew that the movie was not that accurate, but I was surprised to learn that these inaccuracies have been present for many years

Sometimes, the arts must portray history in a way that is entertaining. This involves making the audience happy. In the case of Pocahontas, it is clear that the truth was distorted to make the white audience happy.

Something that surprised me about Pocahontas is how she is portrayed for being head over heels for John Smith in the media when in reality she was a mediator for the Naive Americans and the white settlers.

That the story of Pocahontas is incorrect and inaccurate in is representation of Nativ American culture and the actual story.

History is tailored toward the needs and desires of society

Her age!!

I knew already that she did not automatically know English when speaking to John Smith

History is often portrayed through the arts to increase entertainment value rather than realistically portray events. This leads to incorrect facts in the arts' representation of knowledge.

I know that film and entertainment can distort perspectives because their main goal isn't always to be accurate. Pocahontas reinforced this belief because it is clear how the perspectives of white people took precedence over the real story.

The accuracy of the depictions of history becomes up to the artist. Knowledge only within the arts doesn't necessarily impose ethical obligations in presenting correct information, but as there is so much overlap and relationship between multiple ares of knowledge, the possible impact of what is being produced needs to be considered in the context of other areas of knowledge.

How inaccurate Pocahontas' age is, I didn't think it was that big of a difference.

# data[].attributes.body
I knew the movie wasn’t accurate, but I wasn’t aware John Smith and her had such a large age gap.

# data[].attributes.body
She was younger than depicted in the Disney film and her English speaking skills developed gradually after contact with Europeans

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that history is often misinterpreted because Disney movies are trying to appeal to a younger audience, so they often simplify the information.

They changed her name. Pocahontas means “mischievous” or “ill-behaved child.” I think that if the movie was supposed to be based on the real story, they should not have changed her real name.

History is portrayed through the arts through different mediums to convey knowledge - we are influenced greatly by film and the arts, changing how we interpret cultures that are presented.

# data[].attributes.body
I was surprised that Pocahontas was actually not her real name, but instead a nickname. I was also surprised by Pocahantas' role as a translator and negotiator for the Powhatan tribe.

# data[].attributes.body
In the movie, there were not a lot of information about the Native American side of things. Disney mostly mentioned John Smith's perspective with Pocahontas instead.

# data[].attributes.body
History is often misrepresented in arts, especially in Disney movies as they are oversimplified and overlook the minority culture's beliefs and customs.

At times, in the arts, history can be portrayed inaccurately to fit the audience's needs. As a result, distortions as well as confusion can arise.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that history may not necessarily portray accurately in the arts and therefore it is important to consider the ethical implications that art can have on knowers and the impact on other groups.

# data[].attributes.body
History can be portrayed in many different ways, one of them being through a movie or through books etc.

# data[].attributes.body
History is often portrayed with some inaccuracies due to facts being changed for the audience’s enjoyment

# data[].attributes.body
It's romanticized to make it palatable to the public. Most of the time art is used to appeal to an audience and doesn't focus on being historically accurate.

# data[].attributes.body
History can be distorted through dishonest depictions through mediums of art like film which can potentially harm society with incorrect knowledge

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that history is often portrayed somewhat inaccurately through the arts for a variety of reasons. One of these reasons is that the arts are meant to entertain a particular audience. As a result, history is often skewed to get a specific response from an audience.
