I know Pocahontas married John Rolfe, I'm just saying refusing Kokoum just because he's "too serious" isn't a good enough reason for me storywise.
Also, a lot of people's complaints, especially from the Powhatan Nation (http://www.powhatan.org/pocc.html) , about this movie is that Pocahontas and her tribe were not treated so "well" as they were in the movie and it's very inaccurate.
Anyway, I just think it's a shame that Disney didn't do a Native myth instead. They could have done a wonderful job retelling one on the big screen. There's a dozen of them begging to be made into a Disney film. Hiawatha (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Song_of_Hiawatha) would have been a lovely choice for them.
