Pocahontas: Medicine Woman, Spy, Entrepreneur, Diplomat by Paula Gunn Allen

challenging informative mysterious reflective slow-paced

3.5

I really wanted to like this book, as I like the thought behind the author's approach. However, it was very dull and was not a good intro to the "facts" of Pocahontas's life. If I had known more of the outline of her life, perhaps this would have been an interesting take. But often the events were cursory as she explained her premise. (Premise: that Pocahontas was a mover and shaker of the Native American manito; her life parallels many oral tradition stories, which is what we should expect of a medicine woman of her time).
