Chief Powhatan is the wise and strong leader of the Powhatan tribe in the story of Pocahontas. He is also Pocahontas's father — which makes him both a chief and a loving dad.

He is tall and dignified, with long dark hair, and often wears traditional Native American clothing made of animal skins and feathers. His expression is usually serious but kind, showing his wisdom and responsibility.

As chief, he makes important decisions for his people. He wants to protect his tribe and their land from the strangers (English settlers) who have arrived in ships. He loves his daughter deeply and worries about her safety, especially when she becomes friends with one of the settlers, John Smith.

The movie is a fictional story inspired by history. In real life, Chief Powhatan was the leader of many tribes in Virginia. Now let's learn how to draw him!
