(San Francisco Chronicle)|The look and style of the film were inspired by the filmmakers' numerous visits to Jamestown, Virginia, as well as by extensive research into the Colonial period.|At various stages of production, the creative team consulted with Native American scholars and storytellers to incorporate authentic aspects of the Powhatan culture into the film.|The movie won Oscars® for Best Score and Best Song ("Colors Of The Wind").|Pocahontas, whose name means Little Mischief, is based on a real historical figure. She was born into a highly sophisticated Indian culture that had some knowledge of Europeans. The use of strong vertical and horizontal imagery in the design springs from the tall vertical shapes of the Virginia pine forests and the vast horizontal landscapes.
