What describes the Powhatan Native Tribes relations with the Jamestown settlers?

The Powhatan confederacy was a sizable group of Native American Tribes under the rule of Chief Powhatan. His people interacted with the British settlers of Jamestown in what is now Virginia. At first the Chief and his people were helpful to the new comers, as they lacked good hunting skills and their settlement was in a area that were "wetlands". The Jamestown settlement was not like the Pilgrim one in Massachusetts. Those people came to America to escape religious persecution. The Jamestown settlement was partially sponsored by a British company with the British Crown overseeing the conduct of the Jamestown settlement. The objective of Jamestown was to mainly take control of good tobacco farmlands that belonged to the Natives. Eventually dispute arose, conflicts & bloodshed as well. With the power of gun fire and the backing of England & the private company, the Powhatan peoples were driven back. Tobacco flourished and was a big selling product in Europe.
