They showed them how to grow different foods and crops, which allowed the Jamestown colonists to survive.
The Powhatan Indians.
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 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.
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.)
Chief Powhatan (Wahunsenacawh, c.1545-1618) was the leader of the Powhatan Confederacy, a collection of tribes along the eastern central coast of the present-day United States. He was involved in trading and conflicts with the early colonial settlers of Jamestown in Virginia (from 1607). His daughter Pocahontas (Matoaka c.1595-1617) married planter John Rolfe in 1614.Powhatan may have misunderstood the intentions of the colonists, which was to take possession of unoccupied American lands as their own (as was common practice in Europe). After successfully attacking them, he may have expected that they would follow the practices of native American tribes, and cease their expansion into the Confederacy lands.His younger son Opechancanough became the Powhatan, or chief, after his death, and attacked the English in 1622. This led to a war that destroyed most of his tribe's warriors, along with its power in the region.
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.

Basically, it's your choice since it's a opinion question. Just to help out others, i would write if yes: Yes, i would have helped the colonists if i was a member of the Powhatan Confederacy because you might need the Powhatan at times, like when disease struck Jamestown. if no: No, i wouldn't have helped the colonists if i was a member of the Powhatan Confederacy because i wouldn't want the colonists taking up land that should be ours!
Because I want to help others in the colonist
