What were some problems that contributed to the near failure of the Jamestown Colony?
Everybody was looking for gold, and nobody was planting crops. Also, the people who came over (on the first trip) was some kind of merchant. At the time John Smith was the only one with military training in the Colony. So, the reason why there were so many problems was starvation, lack of leadership, organization, lack of survival skills, lack of knowledge of the area (to just name a few problems the Jamestown Colony had).The colony also suffered from desertion on a large scale. Within a few years of settlement , many colonists deserted the colony and either lived with the local Native Americans ( they also adopted the Native American ways and abandon their own) or lived by themselves, usually in wooded areas. Later, the officials in Jamestown believed that if they attack local Native American tribes they will be able to capture the deserters or force the Native Americans to give them up. Unfortunately, the officials started to target tribes that had no deserters in them. These attacks left the tribes in shock and anger and led to retaliation attacks on Jamestown.

How did native Americans interact with Jamestown settlers?
When the men landed to form the Jamestown colony they had problems with the native Americans in the area.

So, the interactions between the colonist and the Native Americans wasn't very good.

But maybe if Jamestown would have died off our good ole american lives could be much diffrent.
