The early French settlers primarily traded for furs, particularly beaver pelts, with Native Canadians. This trade became a cornerstone of the French colonial economy in North America, as the demand for fur in Europe was high. In exchange for furs, the French offered various goods such as metal tools, weapons, and textiles, which were valuable to the Indigenous peoples. This interaction fostered significant economic and cultural exchanges between the two groups.
