There are reasons to suspect that Smith may have been influenced by the literary and cultural norms of his time, which often included heroic self - portraits. Moreover, the English settlers' view of Pocahontas was shaped by their own goals, such as justifying their presence in the New World and their attempts to convert the natives. However, archaeological and historical research has shown that she did exist, and her role in the interactions between the Powhatans and the English, especially her marriage to John Rolfe, was real, though the details around it may have been misrepresented or misinterpreted over time.
