When did Powhatan decide to stop trading with the colonists?
When Jamestown men landed on the land near the James River they were in an Native American empire of 15,000. The Powhatan never traded with them and they did nothing to them, but sat and waited for them to die. The fort was built on the worse land in the area and the Powhatan knew this. It was swampy with bad water and mosquitoes and they knew that disease and starvation would soon kill most of the men. They were right. Within 6 months of the 107 who arrived 34 were left alive.

Who was Powhatan and why was he important to the Jamestown Colony?
Chief Powhatan (Wahunsenacawh, c.1545-1618) was the leader of the Powhatan Confederacy, a collection of tribes along the eastern central coast of the present-day United States. He was involved in trading and conflicts with the early colonial settlers of Jamestown in Virginia (from 1607). His daughter Pocahontas (Matoaka c.1595-1617) married planter John Rolfe in 1614.Powhatan may have misunderstood the intentions of the colonists, which was to take possession of unoccupied American lands as their own (as was common practice in Europe). After successfully attacking them, he may have expected that they would follow the practices of native American tribes, and cease their expansion into the Confederacy lands.His younger son Opechancanough became the Powhatan, or chief, after his death, and attacked the English in 1622. This led to a war that destroyed most of his tribe's warriors, along with its power in the region.
