Native Americans provided fur pelts to French and Dutch traders. The Europeans gave Native Americans manufactured goods, like cloth, iron cookware, guns and tools. The fur trade in the end, had a negative effect on the Native Americans.

The French made an alliance with the Iroquois, and Dutch made an alliance with the Hurons. Yet, before the Hurons became trading partners with the French, the Iroquois, and Hurons were enemies. The two tribes began fighting and the Iroquois had the advantage with fire arms. The Hurons were devastated.

Worse than war, the diseases brought by the Europeans hurt them, over trapping of anmials weakened the food supply and animals with fur were becomning endangered. Soon, the value of the Native American people began to dwindle, while the value of their lands increased to the colonists, who began pushing the natives off their land.
