1) "POCAHONTAS TRAILS included research that Thomas Rolfe may have had other children than Jane, and accounts of descendant from Pocahontas' sister, Niketti." Source and further information: http://smcb.tripod.com/poca.html 2) "There is positive and indisputable proof (Strong Words for Genealogy) that Pocahontas had a sister named Cleopatra (?Matachanna). This proof was located in the old library of the Maryland Historical Society, an item of three lines covering eleven years." Source and further information: http://genforum.genealogy.com/teeter/messages/704.html " Samuel Burk (b. 1680) m. Mary Davis (b. 1685), daughter of Nathaniel Davis. (It is at this point that Indian blood enters the Burks family), as Nathaniel's wife was Elizabeth Hughes, daughter of a member of a colonial family and a Trader named Hughes and his Indian wife, Niketti, whose mother was Cleopatra, sister to Pocahontas. Or so it has been recorded in several genealogies. The Indian name Niketti translates as "She who sweeps the dew from the flowers." [...] There is positive and indisputable proof that Pocahontas had a sister named Cleopatra. This proof was located in the old library of the Maryland Historical Society, an item of three lines covering eleven years. [...] It reads: "Dec. 17th, 1641 -- Thomas Rolfe petitions the governor to let him see Opechankeno to whom he is allied, and Cleopatra, his mother's sister." [...] Thomas Rolfe was the son of John Rolfe and Pocahontas, and Cleopatra was unquestionably not his aunts Indian name. It is, however, the only name that has been passed to us historically, and we must accept it. One wonders if her name was not "Matachanna", the aunt-nurse associated with his mother in Thomas Rolfes earliest memories."

Figure 1 below, is Nantequaua, the brother of Pocahontas, whom John Smith called "the most manliest, comliest, boldest spirit he ever saw in a Savage" (Hamor). Notice that his head is held high as he looks away from the conversion of his sister, as if unable to witness her acceptance of Christianity and, by extension, European culture. It is a subversive moment, a site of resistance. The pamphlet informs us that the Indian girl seated on the floor of the Church, holding a child, is an elder sister of Pocahontas, who watches with "mute, anxious interest and curiosity". The morose Indian sitting to the right of Pocahontas' sister is "her uncle the sullen, cunning yet daring" Source and further information: http://www.lehigh.edu/~ejg1/natimag/pocahontas.htm 4) "The customary huskanasquaw procedures for Pocahontas, since her mother had died at childbirth, were overseen by Pocahontas's full older sister, Mattachanna, who acted as a mother to her." "Mattachanna was Pocahontas's eldest sister by the same mother and had taken over raising Pocahontas when their mother died."
