The correct answer to this open question is the following.

You forgot to include a question. Here it is only a statement.

We assume that you want to know more about Chief Powhatan's address to Captain John Smith.

If that is the case, then we can comment on the following.

Chief Powhatan(1545-1618), who was also known at that time as Chief Wahunsenacawk, was the leader of the tribe Powhatan, an important Native American Indian tribe that settled in the territory of Jamestown, Virginia. Let's have in mind that European colonizers arrived at Jamestown in May 1607.

In the beginning, the Native American Indians helped the white Europeans to survive in this new territory and the weather conditions. The Native Indians even helped the Europeans giving them food to survive. But the good relationship did not last for so long because the Europeans were interested in exploiting the many raw materials and natural resources of the region, and the Indians heavily opposed to this. There were many differences that confronted the Native Indians with white Europeans.

That is why Chief Powhatan addressed John Smith, a leader of the colonists, trying to peacefully resolve the many issues that confronted both sides.
