THE FOLLOWING INFO IS FROM WIKI -
Q'orianka Waira Qoiana Kilcher (born February 11, 1990) is an American actress and singer. She is best known for her role as Pocahontas in the 2005 film The New World, directed by Terence Malick.
Early life
Kilcher was born in Schweigmatt, Germany. Her name Q'orianka means "Golden Eagle" in Quechua. She speaks English and some German.
Her father is a Quechua artist from Peru. Her mother, Saskia Kilcher, is a human-rights activist of Swiss descent, born in Alaska and raised in Switzerland, and her cousin is Grammy-nominated singer Jewel Kilcher.
When Kilcher was two, she and her mother moved to Honolulu, Hawaii. Her father, from whom she is estranged, was absent for much of her life. Growing up in Hawaii, Kilcher was inspired by the local Hawaiian culture and started hula dancing at the age of 5. She also trained in Tahitian dance and West African, as well as ballet, Hip Hop and Modern Dance. In 1997 Kilcher won Ballet Hawaii's Young Choreographer Award at the age of 7.
She also studied Drama with Bill Ogilvie at the Diamond Head Theater.
In 1999, her mother moved the family to California. Kilcher started to showcase her talent busking on the Third Street Promenade in Santa Monica.
Career
At the age of 9, Kilcher was cast as "Choire Who" in Ron Howard's The Grinch Who Stole Christmas. At age 12, she received a full scholarship to the Hollywood Musician Institute, where she studied vocal performance, music theory and songwriting and accomplished Blackbelt in Wushu, Kung Fu and Stunt performer and has trained at the National Wushu Training Center and Impact Stunts.
At the age of 14, Q'orianka Kilcher emerged into the front ranks of young actors with her portrayal of Pocahontas opposite Colin Farrell and Christian Bale in director Terrence Malick Academy Award-nominated motion picture, The New World (2005). Her performance won her the National Board of Review's best breakthrough performance of 2006, the 2006 Alma Award for best Latin American actress in a feature film, numerous other award nominations, and rave reviews.
The film was released in December 2005 to mixed reviews. The film was a critical success, garnering several positive reviews and award nominations, but it was shown in only 811 theatres worldwide.
The film's purported love affair between Colin Farrell and then 14-year-old Kilcher was a sensitive topic. (Most historians do not believe they had a sexual relationship.)
In the summer of 2006, Kilcher began filming the independent film The Power of Few, which she produced through her own production company, Entertainment On-Q.
In 2009, Kilcher performed in The People Speak a documentary feature film that uses dramatic and musical performances of the letters, diaries, and speeches of everyday Americans, based on leftist historian Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States".
She has also played the title role of Kaiulani in the feature film, "Princess Kaiulani". The film, about the United States' overthrow of the Hawaiian monarchy, was released in May 2010.

She showed ALOT of potential for being nine years old!! It's tough for most adults to sing for a crowd that's not paying attention....but this whole time, she smiled, she looked at the people and had charm.
