Nicolas Martiau: born on Ré Island, France, he fled religious persecution to England and arrived in 1620 in Jamestown, Virginia. Earliest American ancestor of George Washington. Oil on canvas, 38 x 24 inches, 96 x 61 cm, 2025. #nicolasmartiau #huguenot #powatan #jamestown #fredericlere

The biggest thing, IMO, is the fact that Pochahontas had some...serious problems with depicting Matoaka and the Powatan. Not just the obvious romance but... just kinda everything. It leaned a *lot* into Magical Native tropes that's soured it culturally.

Nicolas Martiau: in Jamestown, he participated in the fortification of Jamestown, in the first war against Powatan people and saw the arrival of the first enslaved people in the colony. A tobacco planter, he was the earliest American ancestor of George Washington. #georgewashington

1620, Nicolas Martiau arrives in the first British colony of the Americas, Jamestown, Virginia. Like other
Huguenot refugees, the impact he had on the creation of the USA is shown in “Les Amériques et la Réforme” at Musée du protestantisme de Ferrières, France.
