Pocahontas Opens Her Arms on the Cliff coloring page

About this coloring page

Pocahontas on a cliff is how we first meet her in the Disney movie, perched high above the river to feel the wind and take in the view. Her friends soon find her there, and that sets the tone, because in this story Pocahontas is rarely alone.

Her wisest advisor is Grandmother Willow, an ancient talking tree with a kind face. Pocahontas turns to her whenever she is unsure, and the tree reminds her to listen with her heart. Later on, Grandmother Willow also helps John Smith understand Pocahontas's world.

Meeko is a mischievous raccoon who is always sniffing out cookies, and Flit is a tiny, fiercely protective hummingbird who keeps watch over her. Neither of them talks, but their antics add tons of humor. There is also Percy, Governor Ratcliffe's pampered pug, who ends up becoming Meeko's buddy.

These sidekicks help tell a story about friendship between different worlds. The animals start out squabbling and end up as friends, just as the two peoples in the film need to learn to live side by side. In that way, Pocahontas carries a message of respect and peace.
