Welcome to the History Tricks, where any resemblance to a boring old history lesson is purely

coincidental.

Hi, it's Susan.

In the United States, November is Native American Heritage Month.

This week is also when we celebrate our Thanksgiving.

So Beckett and I thought we would take a trip in the way back machine to 2017 and our

coverage of the life of Pocahontas.

In our show notes, we'll give you a link to a website with all kinds of information

and activities in celebration of Native American Heritage Month.

We hope that if you're spending time with friends and family this week, like we are, you'll

have a very warm and wonderful celebration.

And now on with the show.

A quick note due to a cascading series of technical difficulties.

Susan has disappeared from the first section.

She'll rejoin her again in section 2, but for the beginning, it is only me.

And now on with the show.

And here's your 30 second summary.

Once there was a story about an 11 year old girl who saved the life of an explorer from

her father's wrath.

She did save the lives of his people, but not the way you've been told.

The End.

Let's talk about Pocahontas.
