20. Pochahantas and John Rolfe

were the famous couple, mostly because formal arrangements were so rare. The English came mainly to colonize, and in later years brought significant numbers of women over and discouraged intermingling.

The Spanish, on the other hand, did mix a lot with the native peoples, and even developed a complex system of terms for the offspring of these unions. There are collections of paintings depicting the various categories: the Denver museum had a collection of charming domestic scenes showing a father from class A, a mother from class B and their children in class C.
