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.
Basically, it's your choice since it's a opinion question. Just to help out others, i would write if yes: Yes, i would have helped the colonists if i was a member of the Powhatan Confederacy because you might need the Powhatan at times, like when disease struck Jamestown. if no: No, i wouldn't have helped the colonists if i was a member of the Powhatan Confederacy because i wouldn't want the colonists taking up land that should be ours!
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.

Because I want to help others in the colonist
Pocahantas helped make peace between The Jamestown colonists and the Powhatan because she had married the English colonist John Rofle in the year 1614. John Rolfe wasn't a colonist!! :)
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.)

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. The Powhatans did help, at first, in terms of farming practices, fishing and other forms of survival but the English settlers were violent and greedy for land from the beginning, causing conflicts.
