In Jamestown, Native Americans, particularly the Powhatan Confederacy, traded various goods with the European settlers, including food such as corn, beans, and squash, which were vital for the survival of the colonists. They also exchanged animal furs and hides, which the Europeans valued for their market potential. In return, the Europeans offered metal tools, weapons, and other manufactured goods that were new to the Native Americans. This exchange facilitated initial cooperation but also contributed to tensions and conflicts as colonization progressed.
