"Great chief, I love your daughter and I want to take care of her," said John Rolfe. In April 1614, Pocahontas married John Rolfe in the Anglican Church. She was the first American Indian to marry a white man. Pocahontas wore a
beautiful white dress. She had flowers in her hair. She and John Rolfe laughed and danced on this special day. All the people in Jamestown celebrated the marriage. There were great festivities with music and dancing. Nantaquas and many other Indians came to celebrate. At the wedding meal there were white men and Indians. They were all good
friends. They sat around a long table. There were all types of good food to eat. Pocahontas' marriage brought peace to the Virginia Colony. The colony began to grow.
