La Malinche and Pocahontas

For my research paper I did a comparison of Pocahontas and La Malinche. My advice for these papers is to start early or else you will not not get it done. don't think you can just put it off until the last minute because if you do that it's going to suck trying to finish it. It took me a long time to do this and i started weeks ago. Just pick a topic that you are interested, but if there are not that many sources, it is probably better to pick a new topic. My research question was why do we celebrate and idolize Pocahontas but view La Malinche as a traitor? Here are the sources that I used:

1)Downs, Kristina. "Mirrored Archetypes." Western Folklore. 67.4 (2008): 397-414. Web. 11 Jun. 2013.
       -this was an article on the academic search premier
2)Schwartz, Stuart. Victors and Vanquished. Boston: Bedford/St. Martins, 2000. Print.
3)Leon-Portilla, Miguel. The Broken Spears. Boston: Beacon Press, 1990. Print.
4)Woodward, Grace. Pocahontas. Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 1986. Print.
       2-4 are books from the East LA library
5)Vigil, James. \From Indians to Chicanos. 3rd ed. Long Grove: Waveland Press, INC., 2012. Print.
          -this is a Chicano studies textbook
