Explanation:

The natives of the United States, also popularly known as Native American, are the Amerindian ethnic groups that live in the United States and speak Amerindian languages, characterized by their diversity, lifestyle and socioeconomic status. The culture of the different tribes of Indians residing in the territory of the United States is very varied. The natives were the inhabitants of the continent long before the arrival of Europeans and their traditions and ways of life have managed to maintain themselves over time. Cherokees, Sioux or Apaches are the best-known tribes, but there are dozens.

During the "starving time," colonists raided the Native American tribes and took their food supplies. As a result, permanent attacks were held on both sides for the next few years.  Finally, in 1614, Powhatan accepted to make peace with the English. When Powhatan's daughter, Pocahontas, was married to John Rolfe and taken to England, she died of disease three years later. As a consequence, Powhatan died in despair in 1618 and his brother decided to continue the fight against the English. When Powhatan's brother  was captured and executed in 1645, the English forced the tribes to cede land and recognize English authority.
