During the Starving Time (1609-1610) in Jamestown, relations between the colonists and the local Powhatan Confederacy deteriorated significantly. The colonists, facing extreme food shortages and harsh conditions, struggled to survive, leading to desperation and conflict. Initially, there were attempts at trade and cooperation, but as colonists resorted to stealing food and resources, tensions escalated, culminating in hostile encounters. This period marked a turning point, as the colonists' reliance on the indigenous people became strained, setting the stage for future conflicts.
