Pocahontas played a crucial role in aiding the Jamestown settlers in the early 1600s by establishing a relationship of trade and diplomacy between her father, Chief Powhatan, and the English colonists. She helped to supply the settlers with food during times of scarcity, which was vital for their survival. Additionally, her actions fostered a degree of peace between the Powhatan Confederacy and the settlers, allowing for a more stable environment for the fledgling colony. Pocahontas's eventual marriage to John Rolfe further strengthened ties between the two groups.

What are two things that jhon smith did to help save Jamestown?

He did NOT save Jamestown. He was only there a very few months and he lied about his contribution to the settlement in a book he wrote several years later. He also made up the story about Pocahontas and she died young so couldn't refute his story. The man who did save Jamestown was the husband of Pocahontas and gave tobacco seeds to the colony. That was John Rolfe.
