A major French occupation in New France was fur trading, which played a crucial role in the colony's economy and interactions with Indigenous peoples. French traders, known as coureurs des bois, established extensive networks to trade furs, particularly beaver pelts, which were highly valued in Europe. This occupation not only facilitated economic growth but also led to cultural exchanges and alliances with various Indigenous groups. The fur trade significantly shaped the social and political landscape of New France until its decline in the 18th century.
