Pocahontas With Her Eyes Closed in the Wind coloring page

About this coloring page

Pocahontas in the wind is one of the most memorable images from the 1995 Disney film. Again and again, a breeze swirls colorful leaves around her, as if nature itself were talking to her. That idea comes together in her best known song, Colors of the Wind.

In the movie, Pocahontas sings it to John Smith, an English explorer who has just arrived in her homeland and thinks her people have a lot to learn from the newcomers. She answers that every animal, tree and mountain has a life and worth of its own, and that nobody can truly own the land.

The song won the Academy Award for Best Original Song, and the film also took home the award for Best Score. Its message about respecting nature and people who are different still feels current, and teachers often use it to spark conversations about the environment.

The lyrics mention wolves, a bobcat, an eagle, a sycamore tree and the moon, among other things. Together they invite listeners to look at the world with curiosity and to see that all living things are connected.
