About this artwork

This artwork is inspired by Matoaka, also known as Amonute, the Indigenous Powhatan woman later misnamed Pocahontas. Born around 1596, her life was marked by colonization, captivity, and forced assimilation. Taken by English settlers, renamed Rebecca, and brought to England as a political symbol, she died there at about 21, never returning to her homeland. This painting rejects the romanticized myth and instead honors Matoaka as a strong, dignified… woman. It is an act of remembrance, portraying her not as a legend, but as a resilient human being whose story deserves truth, respect, and visibility.
