As a wise and respected chief, he is dedicated to preserving the well-being and traditions of his people. His character embodies strength, wisdom, and a sense of duty to his community, balancing his responsibilities as both a leader and a father.

Chief Powhatan has high expectations for Pocahontas, envisioning a secure future for her, which initially causes him to be wary of her adventurous spirit and her interest in John Smith, a member of the English settlers.

Chief Powhatan is voiced by Russell Means, a prominent Native American activist and actor. Means was a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe and an influential leader in the American Indian Movement (AIM).
