Native American groups typically acquired goods they needed but did not produce themselves through trade with neighboring tribes or through long-distance trade networks. They often exchanged surplus goods, such as food, tools, or crafted items, for desired products like pottery, shells, or metal tools. Additionally, some tribes engaged in gift-giving practices to strengthen social ties and alliances, which also facilitated the acquisition of goods. Hunting, fishing, and gathering were supplemented by bartering, creating a rich exchange system among diverse communities.
