Europeans contributed significantly to the fur trade by introducing new trading practices, technologies, and demand for furs, particularly beaver pelts, which were highly sought after for fashionable hats and clothing in Europe. They established trade networks and partnerships with Indigenous peoples, who provided valuable knowledge about the land and animal populations. Additionally, European traders brought metal tools, firearms, and other goods that changed Indigenous lifestyles and economies. This exchange ultimately transformed both European and Indigenous societies.
