The Duwamish people helped the first White settlers in Seattle primarily by giving them food for their first winter. The settlers faced challenges adapting to their new environment, and the Duwamish's assistance with food was crucial for their survival during that difficult period. While they may have engaged in trade and offered other forms of assistance, the provision of food was a key factor in helping the settlers adjust to their new surroundings.
