The Fur Trade

• Established trading companies searched to obtain
  the furs of many wild animals from native
  trappers. Voyageurs and coureurs du bois
  travelled the rivers of Canada, learning a great
  deal about survival in the wilderness from the
  native people. In exchange, native people were
  able to purchase European made goods, such as
  metal pots and pans, blankets, snares, weapons,
  and tools that made their lives easier. Alcohol
  was often used as a trading tool as well.
