Yes. Henry Hudson, (whom the Hudson River is named after), an English explorer in the employ of a Dutch company and with a crew of mostly dutchmen, traded guns with the Iroquois for furs, namely beaver pelts. European fashion was all about beaver pelts and no upstanding or even middle classed citizen could be without said beaver felt hat, even though beaver were extinct in Western Europe. This in turn caused the beaver trapping in Iroquois land to "dry up", causing the Iroquois to search elsewhere for beaver in a form of expansion (war) and control over other native Indian lands. They managed quite violently and successfully to do this with the firepower they traded the pelts for. This was called the "Beaver Wars".
