The fur trade provided Indigenous peoples with European goods that they could use for gift-giving ceremonies, to improve their social status and to go to war. The French forged military alliances with their Indigenous allies in order to maintain good trade and social relations.
French, British, First Nations, and Métis individuals played crucial roles in the fur trade in North America. The French established early trading posts and relied on Indigenous knowledge and networks for trapping and trading furs. The British later expanded these operations, often collaborating with both First Nations and Métis, who served as trappers, guides, and intermediaries. The Métis, in particular, emerged as a distinct cultural group, blending Indigenous and European practices, and became key players in the fur trade, facilitating relationships between the two worlds.

Most men were not married when they first became involved in the fur trade. European women were extremely rare in the fur trade, and almost all of those women arrived with their husbands. Many fur trade men formed relationships with First Nations women, some going through a form of marriage in accorance with First Nations customs. Many children were born from such relationships. It was quite common for a man to leave his family behind when he left the trading post to which he had been assigned, and to form a new relationship at the next trading post. It was also not uncommon for a man to have more than one wife at the same time, at the same post.

The fur trade negatively affected First Nations peoples by disrupting their traditional ways of life, leading to the depletion of wildlife that was essential to their survival, and introducing new diseases that decimated their populations. Additionally, the trade often exploited Indigenous peoples through unfair trading practices and unequal power dynamics with European fur traders.
