Possible spouses: AMOPOTOISKE, APPIMMONOISKE, APPOMOSISCUT,ASHETOISKE, ATTOSSOCOMISKE, NONOMA, ORTOUGHNOISKE, OTTERMISKE,OTTOPOMTACKE, OWEROUGHWOUGH, PONNOISKEWINGANUSKE. PONNOISKEWINGANUSKE Through marriages between noble families of the previous generation, Powhatan had inherited power over eight tribes.These were the Arrohateck, Appamatuck, Orapaks, Youghtanund,Pamunkey, Mattaponi, Werowocomoce, and Kiskiack. In the 30 or so years after Powhatan assumed rule over these tribes, he had conquered about 20 more tribes. His title at that point was that of Mamanatowick (often translated by the British as Emperor) of the Powhatan Confederacy .

Note 3; Pocahontas' sister was Cleopatria POWHATAN (Birth: BET. 1566 - 1595 in Virginia; Death: BET. 1571 - 1676 in Virginia ). There is positive and indisputable proof that Pocahontas had a sister named Cleopatra (?Matachanna). This proof was located in the old library of the Maryland Historical Society, an item of three lines covering eleven years. During the period covered by the fragment, matters became so bad between the Whites and the Indians that Opechancanough , Chief of the Powhatans, was induced to agree upon a line being established which neither White nor Indian, excepting truce bearers, should cross under penalty of being shot on sight. To insure strict obedience to the compact, a law was passed at Jamestown imposing a heavy penalty on any people crossing the line without a special permit from the Commissioners Council and the General Court. This accounts for the item alluded to, which is given verbatim. It reads: "Note: Dec. 17th, 1641 -- Thomas Rolfe petitions the governor to let him see Opechankeno to whom he is allied, and Cleopatra, hismother's sister." Thomas Rolfe was the son of John Rolfe and Pocahontas.

Answer 6

She was from the sacred Bear Clan which was Cherokee. It was forbidden for her to visit with the white man until the Chaykota ( Tribe Clown) ride her of her fears of the white man.. Looks like he did quite a good job cuz Pocahontas then became famous. The other answer has her correct name..
