She didn't save Smith.The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone.

How did John Smith get injured?
Well, in reality Captain John Smith was a vain, arrogant person, and apparently quite difficult to deal with. When he angered the colonists at Jamestown, they arrested him, and incarcerated him in a building there. While he slept, the poured a flammable liquid on him (likely rum or some other licquor) and set him on fire. He returned to England to recover, and spent the rest of his life trying to con others out of funding so he could return to the New World.
