1. 200 grim courtiers who have their heads and shoulders painted red with white beads around their necks/ Powhaten was holding a court session, and to show power he dressed in his finest. Smith killed a bunch of them and only capitulated when he was too cold. It was only natural for him to think that the village people would view him as a monster for the bad deeds he did/

2. Powhaten orders the execution, Pocahontis, covers his head with hers/ It was just an adoption ritual to show that he was about to become part of the family and his "sister and family" would save and protect him/

3. food, so they don't starve to death/The colony was low on supplies and people were dying of starvation and without Pocahontis' visits and food everyone would have died.

5. I think Smith was never in peril, but misunderstood the situation and decided they were going to kill him/ I think he thought that he was telling the truth and repeated it to others to make himself look better and more heroish.
