		Chapman's selection of Pocahontas' entry into the Christian faith certainly falls within the boundaries of the Congressional mandate, but one wonders why he would choose this particular moment in her biography, especially since the most prominent portion of the mythology surrounding Powhatan's daughter involves her dramatic rescue of John Smith.
		Hulme has argued that the artist's agenda is evident; by "shrewdly choosing the moment when European ritual symbolized her [Pocahontas] rejection of her own culture and her incorporation into the ranks of the saved," Chapman illustrates the submission of the native American to European religion and the birth of the doctrine of "manifest destiny" (170).
		Upon examination of the primary figures in Chapman's mural, one immediately notices how Pocahontas is bathed in a divine spotlight that accentuates the immaculate white dress she wears as she kneels before the baptismal font.
