What does this quote from powhatan, father of pocahontas, reveal about his attitude towards the settlers of jamestown? a. he thinks they should try and live in peace because he desires goods to trade. b. he thinks they should leave jamestown or be prepared to be attacked by the native americans. c. he thinks that the settlers are going to attack first because they fear the native americans are armed. d. he thinks that the settlers will never be able to live in peace with the native americans because they are jealous?

The correct answer is: "a.he thinks they should try and live in peace because he desires goods to trade. "

Upon the arrival of the settlers to America, Powhatan and his people helped them survive during their first years in these lands. He thought that an alliance could be forged between them and the settlers.

However, "the starving time" occurred forcing the settlers to take Native American food supplies. This caused Powhatan to retaliate towards them. This marked the beginning of a series of conflicts that would last a couple of years. These would end in 1614.
