The Powhatan tribe was very powerful and had many encounters with people from the Lost Colony.

No Powhatan was on the mainland. The Lost Colony was on Roanoke Island.
In 1587, the English again attempted to settle Roanoke Island, led by John White. However, John White left the colony to return to England for supplies that he felt would help them to survive, expecting to return to Roanoke Island within 3 months. Instead, he found England at war with Spain, and all ships were confiscated for use of the war efforts. His return to Roanoke Island was delayed until 1590. When he finally returned, the colonists had disappeared. The only thing he found was the word "Croatoan" carved into a post of the fort and "Cro" carved into a nearby tree, telling about the Indians who lived close by. Their fate has never been authoritatively ascertained, and they became known as "The Lost Colony".

the odds are in favor of this happening, although if Powhatan himself did not then the members of the tribe did.
