It is due to historical roots that involve the English colonization of Virginia since 1607, as this paper pretends to explain in a double perspective. On the one hand, it will examine colonization strategies in which Pocahontas took part, including trade and conflicts between natives and settlers, emphasizing the nature of trade. It was so important for settlers´ survival that it has been seen as part of Indian collaborationism, but trade contains deep signs of their resistance against colonial development. On the other hand, it will focus in the transformations of Pocahontas´ identity and her experiences in contact with the English people that denounce not the progress of the colony but its weakness and its violent practices that remained during the first decade of settlement. The sources that make the analysis possible are very contrasting: the English texts and the Mattaponi´s oral history, whose records have recently been published. Las cuantiosas apropiaciones y representaciones artísticas sobre Pocahontas tienen una raíz propiamente histórica en el proceso de colonización de Virginia desde 1607, lo cual pretende analizar este trabajo, en una doble perspectiva. Por un lado, se indagarán las estrategias de colonización que involucraron a Pocahontas, lo que incluye una primera etapa de intercambios y una posterior caracterizada por la confrontación entre colonos e indígenas. Se indaga particularmente en la naturaleza de los intercambios entre indígenas y colonos que, dada la importancia que revestía para la supervivencia de estos últimos, se ha interpretado como un acto de colaboracionismo indígena, pero que contiene marcados signos de resistencia frente al avance colonial. Por otro lado se analizarán las transformaciones en la identidad de Pocahontas y las experiencias del contacto con los ingleses, no tanto como evidencia del progreso colonial sino como imposiciones violentas de los colonos que, a una década de la instalación colonial, buscaban estabilizar su precario dominio en Virginia. Los testimonios que posibilitan el análisis son los relatos de los testigos ingleses y, en profunda tensión con éstos, la historia oral que aun conserva la comunidad Mattaponi, cuyos antecesores conformaron la nación Powhatan.
