coureur des bois or runner of the woods, were French-Canadian woodsmen. They explored woods of North America and took with them European goods, which they traded for fur of animals like beaver, with the natives of the area. They used this also as a mean to explore and learn natives' trade practices. Most of the coureurs de bois were unlicensed and treated as outlaws by France for not obtaining a permit for their trade.
