Captain John Smith <span> became leader of the </span>Jamestown Colony<span>. He saved the colony by making a </span>rule<span> that anyone who did not work did not eat. This made the colonists plant food, and build shelters and fences to protect themselves from attack. Captain John Smith maintained a </span>peace<span> with the nearby </span>Algonquian Indians.<span> At the time, almost 30 tribes of the</span><span> Eastern Woodlands Indians </span><span> lived in </span>Virginia<span>. The Indian tribes formed a </span>confederation<span> led by </span>Chief Powhatan<span>. One day, Captain John Smith was captured by the Indians. A </span>legend<span> says that </span>Pocahontas,<span> the chief's daughter, saved his life.</span>
