Jamestown relationship with natives

Answer 1

The Powhatan traded fur and food with the settlers.

Answer 2

In the beginning the settlers at Jamestown developed trade relationships and had good interactions with the Powhatan Indians. In 1608 however; relations became hostile as the Indians came to realize the intent to make it a completely English colony.

Answer 3

The story we know is not true. Actually the colonist landed in an area of 14,000 Native Americans and in the worse land in the area. Powhatan pretty much left them alone. I think he figured that they would die from the bad water and disease . He was fairly right. Within 6 months there were only 34 men left alive of the 104 who came. It wasn't until after his death that the brother of Powhatan attacked the colony. The story about Smith is also not true. 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.

Answer 4

Jamestown did not have the best relationship with the Native Americans. The people in Jamestown had a poor view of the uncivilized way the Natives lived.

Answer 5

They helped them a lot. It was good until the first generation died and then the whites tried to rebel against the Natives. Then there was King Philip's war.
