Pocahontas is the title character of Disney's 33rd animated feature film Pocahontas (1995), and its direct-to-video sequel Pocahontas II: Journey to a New World (1998). The character and the events she goes through are loosely based on the actual historical figure Pocahontas.
Pocahontas, as the daughter of a Native American paramount chief of the Powhatan paramountcy, is the first American Disney Princess. Pocahontas is also the first Disney Princess to have two love interests. She is voiced by and modeled after Native American actress Irene Bedard and her singing vocals were performed by Broadway singer Judy Kuhn in both films. Pocahontas is the seventh member of the Disney Princess line-up and the franchise's first Indigenous American member.
