This stamp honors Pocahontas, the Powhatan who saved John Smith’s life.

The design is based on a 1616 portrait engraving by Simon van de Passe.

Pocahontas (a nickname) was originally known as Matoaka but took the name Rebecca after she became a Christian which (it seems) was shortly before she married John Rolfe at the age of 19.
