Role model, not insult fodder
The professional ignoramus posing as POTUS considers "Pocahontas" an insult to U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren.
The historical Pocahontas, daughter of a powerful chief in Colonial America, wowed English society when she was presented as a "civilized savage" who converted to Christianity and took the name Rebecca. Her birth name was Matoaka; among her tribe, she was known as Amonute. She was taken hostage by the colonists and hauled to Europe as a prisoner.
Survival strategy: adapt and overcome.
There are legends about her, mostly lies told by the pink-skin, John Smith, to aggrandize himself by riding on her reputation.
Is it possible that Ignoramus knows no other Native American's name?
