Chief Powhatan was being a very gracious person to the colonists but the colonists never showed that they were thankful or if they appreciated their help...and as Jamestown receives a new leader (John Smith) things got better.(This answer explains nothing.)

∙ 11y agoThe story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.

They lost their land.
How did Pocahontas help make peace between the Jamestown colonists and the Powhatan?
Pocahantas helped make peace between The Jamestown colonists and the Powhatan because she had married the English colonist John Rofle in the year 1614. John Rolfe wasn't a colonist!! :)
What were the two wars fought in 1614 and 1644 between the English in Jamestown and the nearby Indian leader?
These are the Anglo-Powhatan Wars.
How did American Indians help the Jamestown colonists?
The question said "Native Americans" who helped the settlers. The Puritans occupied Indian lands in what is now Massachusetts. Jamestown was down in the southeast - Chesapeake Bay. The Virginia Indians who interacted with those setllers were part of the Powhatan Confederacy, a group of local tribes. It was a complex relationship between English and natives. The Powhatans did help, at first, in terms of farming practices, fishing and other forms of survival but the English settlers were violent and greedy for land from the beginning, causing conflicts.
How did interaction and conflict between English settlers and Indians affect both parties?
Some sources, such as http://etext.lib.virginia.edu/etcbin/jamestown-browse?id=J1023 suggest that when the Europeans first settled in Jamestown, the relationship they had with the Powhatan Indians was very peaceful. The Indians helped them to settle by offering food such as Indian cakes and corn. Other sites, such as http:/en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Powhatan#History suggest that the violence started right away. Either way, there was violent interactions between the European settlers and the Powhatan Indians that led to mass murdering of both sides. Personally I would be more likely to believe the first link because it's a letter from Edward Maria Wingfield who was one of the very first to settle in Jamestown.

Why did conflicts increase between the Powhatan and Virginia colonists?
The main reason that conflict increased between the Virginia Colonists and the Powhatan Indians was because the Powhatan were being pushed off their lands to accommodate the Colonists. Then Captain John Smith was captured by the Powhatan Indians and Pocahontas saved his life.

One of the things that contributed to the end of the peaceful relationship between the Jamestown colonists and the Powhatans was the leadership of John Smith.
