Europeans introduced various technologies, trade opportunities, and goods to First Nations, which could enhance their quality of life. They provided access to metal tools, firearms, and new agricultural practices that could improve hunting and farming efficiency. Additionally, the fur trade created economic opportunities for some Indigenous groups, allowing them to engage in new forms of commerce. However, these benefits were often accompanied by significant negative consequences, including displacement and the spread of diseases.
The first nations helped the Europeans because it was good to trade with them to get metals for fur.
It's generally agreed that the arrival of European settlers was of no benefit to the First Nations. They lost their land and often their lives too because of warfare, through starvation or most usually through diseases brought by Europeans, to which they had no resistance.
First Nations taught Europeans various survival skills, such as hunting, fishing, and foraging, which were essential for adapting to the North American environment. They shared knowledge of local plants and medicines, which helped Europeans navigate their new surroundings. This exchange was often motivated by a desire for trade, cooperation, and mutual benefit in a rapidly changing world. Additionally, some First Nations aimed to establish alliances to protect their interests against colonial encroachment.
Both First Nations and Europeans benefited from the fur trade through mutually advantageous exchanges. First Nations gained access to European goods such as metal tools, firearms, and textiles, which enhanced their daily lives and hunting capabilities. In return, Europeans profited from the high demand for furs in Europe, which were fashionable and lucrative commodities. This collaboration fostered economic relationships and cultural exchanges, although it also led to significant long-term consequences for Indigenous communities.
they traded and it was cool
not all First Nations were allies of the Europeans. ex. the beothuk were hunted down by the Europeans for bounty because they didn't want to have the Europeans on their land.
