Explanation:

The Anglo - Powhatan Wars were initially caused by the English settlement on the Chesapeake Bay area. As the English colonists settled there, they encroached on the Powhatan's land and resources, leading to conflicts.

And while resource theft was a part of the conflict, the initial trigger was the English settlement.
