Which Disney princess is the daughter of Chief Powhatan?

Pocahontas is the Disney princess who is portrayed as the daughter of Chief Powhatan.

In Disney's 1995 animated film Pocahontas, Chief Powhatan is her father and the paramount chief of the Powhatan people. The character is loosely based on the historical Pocahontas, whose father was Wahunsenacawh, commonly known as Powhatan, the leader of a powerful alliance in the Tidewater region of present-day Virginia.

Disney's version is a fictionalized adventure involving John Smith, the Jamestown settlers, and the conflict between Indigenous communities and English colonists. The film presents Pocahontas as a mediator who tries to prevent violence, while Russell Means voices Chief Powhatan and Irene Bedard voices Pocahontas.

A common mix-up is treating “princess” as a literal Powhatan title. Pocahontas is part of Disney's Princess franchise, but Powhatan succession did not follow the European model of a daughter automatically inheriting her father's position. The historical figure was also known by names including Amonute, Matoaka, and later Rebecca Rolfe.
