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.
It Was the Powhatan
The Powhatan Confederacy lived around the Jamestown settlement.
what was the relationship between the colonists and the Powhatan peopole when the Jamestown settlement was first estsblished
The Powhatan traded fur and food with the settlers.
tobacco and pumkins
They showed them how to grow different foods and crops, which allowed the Jamestown colonists to survive.
They lost their land.
The Powhatan Confederacy had an extensive trade network with other Indian tribes before Jamestown was settled. When the Jamestown settlers arrived, they traded with the colonists. The settlers traded their metal tools for food and furs.
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!! :)
the colonist from Jamestown and Powhatan always fought because the place they were in wasn't a good place to stay because of the bad salt water and diseases.
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.)
