Example how the Indigenous population was dehumanized from the beginning and only recognized for their impact on the interests of the European entities.

Think back to lecture on Wednesday, where firearms gained in trade were integrated into the Iroquois' raids.

This to me speaks about the realistic of conversions:

Perhaps some appreciated Christianity and it resonated with them more. Perhaps others felt it was necessary to convert, not because they even could understand it nor feel it but to survive.

My annotation before and this sentence clearly mirrors the sociology of each two societies.

I like to generalize this as "spiritual" vs. "religious", as it boils it down in a easily digestable way.

In a lot of ways, it was mysticism or ranging complexities and intensities of polytheism. I find they based first the values of their beliefs then the deities/entities/powers, which is debatably inverse in Christianity with the deity first and values following.

One story, many perspectives. Her own, the Iroquois, and the colonists.

How was she a "good Indian"?

She furthered the interests of the European settlers by being an example and influence of extreme conversion.

I'm shocked (and yet, totally not) that SO RECENTLY the pope decided to make her a saint. This is of course as a symbol and such, but even if you based her qualifications on this ridiculous account of her life... I'd never follow this chick in to anything! She's super backwards, and even then:

How insulting! This beatifying essentially reiterates the "savage" perspective, demonizing the Iroquois and entire Native population. An argument could be made for other intention and meaning behind this, but with what is given, absolutely not. Intention as well as how the symbol is received, is everything.

Claim here:

Physically disfigured and anti-social girl but seemingly in an admirable and pious way; was converted by Jesuits willingly and rapidly.

She was excommunicated from her village within the Mohawk Iroquois, and fled to a Jesuit commune. There, she led other converts to extreme piousness, which included conforming asexually and self-harm. She died from her physical and mental hardships at age 24.

Material and immediate satisfaction versus delayed gratification and often figurative wealth/resources.

While not to, without more evidence, paint Pocahontas as either intensity of being a selfish abandoner nor selfless being, she certainly acted as a martyr for her people and it seems on a very sacrificial level. She certainly had resilience.

while it seems these terms were clearly communicated and agreed upon, the Europeaners in general could not really assimilate the values that would completely allow for follow-through on this promise.

Either way it was a broken contract, but in a sense this was an action that would be justified and adhere to a "all-for-one" value system. Perhaps also how Europeans use fear of power of an individual to ilicit compliance to contract, while it seems the Powhatan prefer more of fear of stakes (burning bridges, losing respect in community, being amicable, perhaps even a higher appreciation for fate as a concept and allowing fate to be a driving force).

As said before with perhaps multiple Pocahontases being historically combined to create the image of one woman. Whether this was intentional or not, and whether or not it was to create a more digestible story for Europeaners, I do not know.

From what I gathered, Pocahontas did very much of what she did for survival of herself and her people in the way she saw appropriate. Live gave her the European Lemon and she worked with it, which is so surprise as she wasn't some European 18 year old sheltered maiden, she was a Tsenacommacah woman of politics and born into conflict.

Role as a political hostage and symbol

I think this explicitly summarized the way many European entities and individuals perceived their economy with the Natives, be it consciously, subconsciously, or unconsciously.

If you have read my annotations before, I reference the average psychology of Europeaners in comparison to that of the median Indigenous group. The way in which resources and sociality come in to play in the survival of Europeaners is expressed and understood is inherently similar but overall very divergent of that of many Natives, and the platforms which each had enabled very different procession of relations.

This was an away game for most (if not all European colonies and entities) where pride, identity, and power were simultaneously the prize and at stake. The Native population of the Americas was playing too, but a different sport.

While in many ways it seems to tout Smith as a more important and likable figure than he was at all, it was also very politically motivated. In many ways, this account of the history has afforded Pocahontas some protections and respects than would ever be considered otherwise.

Would the white queen appreciate a foreigner who subordinates wholly mind and body to her subjects and rule, or to one who is simply "the other" and strategically grasping for survival and agency?

If you want the girl, raid and pillage her people's capital.

Seems like again, a method of supremacy. How can he have Pocahontas as his own if she still "belongs" with and to her people?

She cannot communicate with him, and is held against her will.

I'm sure smitten is more of a predatory lust and objectification of her, perhaps being such a "Pocahontas". A wild, exotic ornament for European interest.

I am sure there were many interracial relationships in love in the past, but many more were one-sided conquests and motivated outside of wholesome intentions.

In my own knowledge, I have no recollections that she knew much if any English. Imagine being taken political hostage at a young age and brainwashed in a foreign language.

Political hostage, potentially desired as informant and bridge

Jamestown est. late 1607

Henrico outpost est. 1611

This is VERY fast development, even though as I understand it these plots were still rudimentary by contemporary standards of the age.

Reading between the lines; he claims it was in defense of his health despite the obvious result of this behavior would not be a arduous journey.

This is funny to me, because it's extremely contradictory to the meaning Smith derived from the situation, while still technically being the same, so to say.

It's obvious the cultural miscommunications between Smith (and Europeaners) and the Indigenous people continuously reveal themselves.

important fact

An inconsistent narrator implores you to take everything he says with a grain of salt, just because you really can't ascertain what is as truth to the individual or intentionally bended reality.

This can also be useful in the opposite: exploring the motivations and perspectives of people such as Smith, with meaning beyond what is said by how it was altered or fluffed.

For example, did Pocahontas do any saving, or in any way could this be doctored to make her appear more receptive to Smith and Europeaners? As if she intertwined her fate with the Europeaners by will.

Perhaps "princess" is correct in our understanding of inherited respect, but it seems for Pocahontas it may mean she is not a princess per se because that is a reserved title for someone specific (not just the daughter of a chief).

example of misconstrued history

"Pocahontas" is likely a just a reused title through different historians to reference a similar character, but probably not the actual same individual.

while it shouldn't be expected to have had any domestic account of this girl, it should be taken in to consideration that the only historical retellings of who the person was were all Europeaners with their own perspectives and intentions.

A hope that the pressure of newfound awareness will appeal to textbooks is humorous; it should be illegal to allow textbooks with such damaging and incorrect information taught in public school curriculums. Of course, this is not the current state of our governments.

While this sentence is fine, I consider the elaboration of "European Influence". Consider the genuine influence was not so passive or of an attracting effect, but that those lands in Eurasia/India/Africa that were different, were colonized or pressured to conform closer to European interests. This is as it was, and still is, in the Americas. Same people, different details.

Interested in the future oft his class to hear personal accounts and Euro-sentiment of the time, such as the words in which they themselves can explain their expectations of commerce and their own hubris.

Hard not to view this as definite act of warfare. Juan was a prisoner for intel.

This shows a very rapid, organized response to the immigrants. In such little time did the shoreline Americans create such defenses /lookouts.

This passage highlights a repeating theme in the European invasion, where the considerations of the settlers were centered around their own interests, seemingly exclusively.

No integration within the American cultures seemed to be attempted unless it furthered the European interests.

This is a case example of how context is lost through a miscommunication of naming, as well as how exclusion of information is in itself information (what you don't say is saying something). Regardless of intentions, what is absent from our history maps and context of those references (such as a place) that we do have, perpetuate ignorance and a manipulated image of what occurred.

Entrepreneurial Traders.

I.e. The French typically traded European goods for Furs with Americans

Inevitability:

This is a great word to understand the European perspective; if someone with inevitability control and cultivate this land, why should it not be me?

Perhaps the flaw in this mindset is the example of Frontiers, which were being used, and to assume in the greed of man as a justification for conquest rather than invest in your interests as they make sense long term. I clearly see this "European" thinking in how we approach the environment and economic.

Borderlands are large territories that act almost as large borders. They were intended to be "no man's land", acting like a neutral buffer ground between defined borders. This land could be used for warfare, political negotiations, neutral passage, and anything inbetween.

In a Western lens, these are lands uncultivated and typically seen as ripe for the picking, despite their intentional and purposeful existence. This highlights an ideological as well as political separation between Americans and Europeans; the land serves a political function, as well as the motivation planning between two different realm. (how should sometimes be used, when is it properly used, who should use it, etc and to what end/purpose)

This will later be interesting to learn about: the dynamics not just in the differences between Europeans and Americans which are stark, but the ways in which Americans faced domestic differences.

It seems to me that Barr is arguing for the inclusion and study of "positive terms" in lieu of the negative, as she is arguing foremost for understanding the Native political realm itself rather than solely its dismantling. Sovereignty was stripped efficiently through direct and indirect attacks on culture and resources particularly, and to understand the details of this we must understand the details of what made up the Native societies.

The usage of the word "regime" is seemingly an example of Western historicists' limitations on labeling the various politics of the indigenous peoples. "Regime" is not only ironically French in origin, but seems to generalize the multitude of varying sovereign bodies to having political rule over property. It puzzles me why Barr chose these words, then later reconciling to a more form-fitting image.

'Claim' and 'rule'– while applicable to certain peoples certainly– would not accurately depict the socio-political relationship between territory and the entirety of the various societies in North America. Nonetheless, it can be said there was no part of North America not inhabited or functioning as a resource within the many populations, regardless of claims or uses and what sort of governing was instituted.
