I think you can definitely see similarities - but then there are 400 years of time between them. In the time where Pocahontas lived, there wasn't even a single treaty made yet, and today there are hundreds of them - and all of them broken.
The similarities that come to my mind are that both of them are not treated the way they should be - as women and as Indigenous women at that. I wonder what the rest of the group says, do you see any similarities?

Buffy Sainte-Marie: The Authorized Biography (other topics)The True Story of Pocahontas: The Other Side of History (other topics)
Given the span of time, just curious if the book group saw anything similar or different between the two stories. I know personally I have not read many first hand accounts or biographies of indigenous women. Mostly "historical" fiction. So having two biographies here is a real treat.
