 | | Captured by Opchanacanough, Chief Powhatan's half-brother, Smith gave him a compass, which made the Native American decide to let Smith live. |
| | When Smith was brought before Chief Powhatan, however, the chief decided to execute him, a course of action which was (as stated by Smith) stopped by the pleas of Powhatan's young daughter, Pocahontas, who was originally named Matoaka, but whose nickname meant "Playful one." |
| | Although Pocahontas's life would be tied to the English after this first meeting, she is not tied to Smith; except in his report in his books. |
