That depends if you mean the real, historic Pocahontas or the fictional, romanticised, sanitised version created by Disney, Hollywood and the tourist industry in the USA.

Pocahontas has been consistently misrepresented over the 395 years since her death. Perhaps the most appropriate symbol of that false representation is the Disney animated film of 1995.

A suitable symbol of the genuine Pocahontas would be the so-called "Mantle of Powhatan", now in the Ashmolean Museum in England. Although often described as a mantle or cloak, it was more probably a wall hanging of some religious significance and would have been an everyday part of Pocahontas' world. It is a simple tanned deer hide (buckskin) decorated with tiny white shells individually sewn in patterns representing a native, two small mammals and perhaps stars.
