She and the rest of the Powhatan Tribe hold the spirits and the land sacred. So much of Pocahontas’ culture and way of life is defined by animism. This one’s the easiest to relate to Pocahontas. The first definition is: the attribution of a soul to plants, inanimate objects, and natural phenomena. So, what is animism, and what does it have to do with Pocahontas? Well, if you Google the word, you’ll get two definitions. So today, we’re going to talk about animism, spirituality and what exactly the colors of the wind really represent. I’ve always been a very spiritual person, and the last time I watched Pocahontas, it really struck me how much that aspect is touched upon. Since Thanksgiving is coming up on Thursday, and the holiday season is upon us, I thought it would be fun to talk about spirituality – or more specifically, spirituality in Pocahontas.
