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.
The indians
The Powhatan Confederacy had an extensive trade network with other Indian tribes before Jamestown was settled. When the Jamestown settlers arrived, they traded with the colonists. The settlers traded their metal tools for food and furs.
The one thing that saved Jamestown was tobacco. When John Rolf introduced tobacco to Jamestown he gave them a future. The selling and growing the crop was so popular they grew it every where they could. It was used as money and brought in money.
Jamestown Colony was finally able to survive due to several key factors. The implementation of a leadership structure under Captain John Smith helped to establish order and discipline among the settlers. The introduction of cash crops such as tobacco provided a profitable economic foundation for the colony. Additionally, the establishment of trade relationships with Native American tribes and the arrival of new settlers and supplies from England further bolstered Jamestown's survival prospects.

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.
