The correct answer is A) buckskin jackets.

The Native American item that helped the European settlers stay warm in the winter was buckskin jackets.

When the first European settlers from England arrived at Jamestown, Virginia territory in North America in 1607, they did not find it easy to settle in.

Indeed, they needed the help of the Native American Indians to pass the harsh winter conditions of the first year. Not all colonists survived. Many died. Just a few could live.

The Powhatan Indians lent a helping hand to the English colonists. They shared buckskin jackets and other pieces of clothing that were made of animal fur. The Indians also shared food. The Native American Indian tribes were smart enough to store food in the summer to be used in the winter so families could have food to survive.
