Visit my Squidoo lens where I have gathered together the knowledge that I have learnt and many of the links about Pocahontas.

Earlier this year I was asked to create a replica of the Cameo Brooch that was presented to Pocahontas while she was in London in 1616. The Pocahontas cameo brooch was presented to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in a special ceremony at the South Portico of the State Capitol building in Richmond, Virginia on May 3rd, 2007.

This ceremony was to mark the 400 year anniversary of the arrival of Captain John Smith and the colonists at Jamestown. This was the first permanent English settlement in North America.

I have learnt so much from this fascinating project about the importance of Pocahontas to both Indian and American history that I have been inspired to create a webpage on Squidoo to share my knowledge.
