The shipwreck survivors found the colonists of Jamestown in desperate condition. Most of the settlers had died from sickness or starvation, or had been killed by Indians. Sir Thomas Gates agreed with the Jamestown settlers to abandon the colony and return to England. He ordered Captain Yeardley to command his soldiers to guard the town preventing settlers from setting fire to the structures that were evacuated. Lord de la Warr soon arrived bringing supplies to save the struggling colony. Captain Yeardley was co-commander of the early Forts Henry and Charles at Kecoughtan. In October 1610, Lord De La Warr ordered Captain Yeardley and Captain Edward Brewster to lead 150 men into the mountains in search of silver and gold mines.
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 main purpose for the establishment of Jamestown was for commerce. They were lonely male settlers and very very few females. There were BARELY any women. The introduction of women to Jamestown helped save it. Jamestown as a settlement was also able to increase because of the cultivation of tobacco.ure your intelligence but also express it in a normalized number.
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.

by a powerful leader named captain John Smith
The settlers didn't know what to do and were miserable without his help. They needed him to be there, which showed how he contributed to America.
They did not plan ahead, nor did they have a decent amount of supplies with them. Also, most settlers brought there were of nobility, and refused to work. They searched for gold the whole time and did not plant food to replenish their supplies.
How did the native Americans help Jamestown
She had sex with all the men and got everyone pregnant! Talk about abuse!
The Native Americans who taught the white settlers how to grow indigenous crops, such as tobacco. Tobacco turned out to be a cash crop for the settlers to the point where it was even used as currency. Without the natives' help, their settlement would have failed like previous attempts in the area.
Chief Powhatan was being a very gracious person to the colonists but the colonists never showed that they were thankful or if they appreciated their help...and as Jamestown receives a new leader (John Smith) things got better.(This answer explains nothing.)
