Pocahontas
Angel: kotakitty had a question and I'm here to answer it in the way I usually do! Through an interview! Here with me today is the ever so famous Pocahontas.
Pocahontas: Hello, my old friend.
Angel: Hey. Thanks for agreeing to come! kotakitty wants to know: What was your real name? In all honesty, I'm a bit curious myself!
Pocahontas: As a Powhatan, it is common for us to have many personal names. We have more than one name at the same time, have secret names that only a select few know, and we change our names on important occasions. They have different meanings and are usually used in different contexts.
Angel: Wow. That must be really confusing at times.
Pocahontas: Perhaps. But we grow used to it as the seasons change.
Angel: What are your names?
Pocahontas: I will tell you my secret name first, because I trust you as family.
Angel: Aw! Thanks!
Pocahontas: To select few, I am known as Matoaka. It means 'bright stream between the hills' and I do not usually hear it among my father's people. I am also known as Amonute and some claim that my real name is Matoax.
Angel: Is it?
Pocahontas: That is for you to decide. Of course, the name 'Pocahontas' is but a childhood nickname because of how much I loved to play.
Angel: Then what do the Brits call you?
Pocahontas: The Englishmen? They did not know how to say these names, so I renamed myself Rebecca once I married John Rolfe.
Angel: Don't say his name. I still think you should've gone with John Smith.
Pocahontas: Say what you wish.
Angel: Well, duty calls, so I have to go. But thanks for coming. I'll see you later?
Pocahontas: Until you become sick of me.
Angel: Goodbye!
