When Pocahontas returns to her village, she finds that warriors from neighboring tribes have arrived to help Powhatan fight the settlers. They agree to meet at Grandmother Willow's glade again that night. The warriors retreat and Powhatan declares that the white men are dangerous and that no one should go near them.Ī few days later, John and Pocahontas meet again, during which John learns that there is no gold in the land. Governor Ratcliffe assumes that it is an ambush, and one of the warriors is shot. Back at the settlement, Powhatan has sent some scouts to learn more about the new arrivals, but they are spotted. The two spend time together, with Pocahontas teaching John to look at the world in a different way, and to not think of people who are different as 'savages'. All the time he is followed by the curious Pocahontas and comes to encounter her. Less concerned with gold, John Smith explores the territory, finding the new world to be a place full of adventure.
