Thomas Jefferson's administration wanted to explore the Louisiana Territory that had been purchased from France in 1803. There was little first-hand knowledge of the vast reaches of the northwest, other than that there were several tribes of Native Americans living there, who had conducted trade with French trappers from Canada.
The oldest evidence would be trade between aboriginal groups. Furs would have been on the list of items they traded. Then there are Viking settlements on Baffin Island and Newfoundland, dated to around 1000AD. Their sagas record that Baffin Island, or Helluland, had many Arctic Fox which were valuable because of their fur. Furs are often mentioned by the English and French early explorers. The Hudson Bay Company was created in 1670 to exploit Canadian furs, see the Hudson Bay Archives. The Northwest Trading Company was created in the 1700's to buy and sell furs. And the Fur Trade continues today see the Fur Council web site for more evidence.
The fur trade did not end in the 1700s. It flourished well into the 1800s. In fact, there is some semblance of a fur trade still today.

The interactions between European explorers and Native Americans ranged from cooperation and trade to conflict and violence. Explorers often sought resources and new trade routes, which sometimes led to exploitation and mistreatment of indigenous peoples. Despite some positive interactions, the overall impact of European exploration had devastating consequences for the native populations, including the spread of diseases and displacement from their lands.
English explorers discovered new lands, cultures, and resources during their expeditions, such as the Americas, Australia, and parts of Africa and Asia. They encountered indigenous peoples, established colonies, and initiated trade routes that had a significant impact on global history and commerce.
