Well... what do you know...?
It seems I am so racist I was reluctant to even draw British people (sarcasms plz!) Anyway, I made this picture celebrating my 1.000.000 pageviews, although I have been planning this for a long time to surprise you all Before you ask where Kida is... well, she IS a princess ineed so she does not belong into this category... HOLD IT RIGHT THERE before you give me some "OMG! Pocahotas is a princes" kind of thing Just so you know know: "Princess" is a very poor translation for the daughter of a chief. American Indian's chiefs were not kings. They were chosen by the community, and there were always multiple chiefs, both peace chiefs and war chiefs, at the same time. The daughter of a chief was more like the daughter of a mayor or a governor than a princess. She certainly wasn't going to inherit any throne. But many people were ignorant of this, and Americans have been fascinated by royalty for a long time, so it is likely that "chief's daughter" or even "prominent person's daughter" may have gotten translated as "princess" by mistaken or romantic-minded white people. So calling Pocahontas a princess, is practically the same than doing this: [link] That out of my system.... ENJOY! |
