Nakoma (Pocahontas)
Last Updated on: June 22nd, 2024
Who is Nakoma?
Nakoma is a supporting character in Disney’s animated film Pocahontas (1995). She is Pocahontas’s loyal and pragmatic best friend within their Native American tribe.
While Pocahontas is adventurous, curious, and often drawn to exploring the unknown, Nakoma provides a grounded contrast. She is cautious, practical, and deeply concerned for her friend’s well-being, often acting as a voice of reason. Despite their different outlooks, Nakoma and Pocahontas share a deep bond of friendship, and Nakoma tries to support Pocahontas even when she doesn’t fully understand her choices.
In the film, Nakoma serves as a bridge between Pocahontas’s free spirit and the structured expectations of their community. She reluctantly reveals Pocahontas’s secret meeting with John Smith to the tribal leaders, believing it to be the best way to protect her. This act demonstrates Nakoma’s internal struggle between her loyalty to Pocahontas and her sense of duty to her people.
The character of Nakoma is voiced by Michelle St. John, a First Nations actress and singer from Canada.
