Pocahontas is the titular character of Walt Disney Animation Studios' 1995 film Pocahontas, and the seventh addition to the Disney Princess franchise.
The character is loosely based on the actual historical figure Pocahontas (1596–1617), making her the first Disney Princess to be based on a real person. As the daughter of a Native American Tsenacommacah-paramount chief of the Powhatan paramountcy, Pocahontas is the first American Disney Princess.
Pocahontas is voiced by Native American actress Irene Bedard in the 1995 film, its 1998 sequel, 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.
