The relationship between the Jamestown colonists and the local Indians shifted dramatically due to a combination of factors, including competition for resources, misunderstandings, and conflicting cultural practices. Initially, the Powhatan Confederacy engaged in trade and conflict with the settlers, but as the colonists' demand for land and resources grew, tensions escalated. Hostile encounters, such as the Anglo-Powhatan wars, further deteriorated relations, leading to a cycle of violence and distrust that marked the first two decades of the settlement. Ultimately, these dynamics set the stage for the colonists' expansion and the displacement of Indigenous peoples.

How did American Indians help the Jamestown colonists?

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.
