Avatar: Pocahontas Recreation?

A few weeks ago, before AmCon really got into discussing Pocahontas, me and a few Hoyme friends watched the movie Avatar.  I'm sure most of you have seen it so I won't get into the plot, but anyway, it's a great movie! One of my friends watching the movie with me brought up the striking similarities between Avatar and Pocahontas though, and at first I didn't understand.  What similarities?  The fact that it's a love story?... Then he showed me this page on the internet, and I began to think that maybe James Cameron wasn't really the genius that we all thought him to be- maybe just someone who watched a lot of Pocahontas.  Read for yourselves!
