European traders and explorers, particularly the French, British, and Dutch, sought to trade fur for profit during the 17th and 18th centuries. They established trade relationships with Indigenous peoples in North America, exchanging goods like tools and textiles for valuable furs, especially beaver pelts. This fur trade became a significant economic driver, influencing colonial expansion and relationships between European powers and Indigenous communities.
