Pocahontas is the titular protagonist of Walt Disney Animation Studios' 1995 film Pocahontas.
The character is loosely based on the actual historical figure Pocahontas (1596–1617), the daughter of a Native American Tsenacommacah-paramount chief of the Powhatan paramountcy. Pocahontas is also a character in the Disney Princess franchise, making her the seventh Disney Princess, the first Disney Princess to be based on a real person, and the first American Disney Princess.
Pocahontas is voiced by Native American actress Irene Bedard in the films and all related media. Bedard also served as one of the physical models for the character. Pocahontas' singing voice is performed by Broadway singer Judy Kuhn.
