Greetings, John Smith. As the leader of the Powhatan Confederacy, I urge you to consider abandoning James Town and returning to England with your fellow colonists. The land you have settled on belongs to my people and the ongoing conflict between us will only lead to further bloodshed and suffering for both of our communities. Your attempts at colonization have brought nothing but destruction to our way of life and caused great harm to our people. I implore you to reconsider your course of action and return to your homeland where you may live in peace and prosperity. Let us put an end to this needless violence and find a way to coexist peacefully.
