When Pocahontas spends the
rest of her days in England, something of a curiosity for display in a room full of
caged raccoons and eagles (her tribesman, Opechancanough (Wes Studi), accompanies her and, in a wonderful moment, examines some of His Majesty's carefully tended topiary), there is of course the problem with the English desire for constraining nature — but it's a more fruitful line to relate the progress of this history to something so
simple as a girl led astray by the best intentions of an older, wearier soul.
