The North American fur trade was the industry and activities related to the acquisition, exchange, and sale of
animal furs in the North American continent. Indigenous peoples of different regions traded among themselves in
the Pre-Columbian Era, but Europeans participated in the trade beginning from the time of their arrival in the
New World and extended its reach to Europe. The French started trading in the 16th century, the English established
trading posts on Hudson Bay in present-day Canada in the 17th century, and the Dutch had trade by the same time
in New Netherland. The 19th-century North American fur trade, when the industry was at its peak of economic
importance, involved the development of elaborate trade networks and companies.
The fur trade became one of the main economic ventures in North America attracting, at various times, competition
among the French, British, Dutch, Spanish, and Russians. Indeed in the early history of the United States,
capitalizing on this trade, and removing the British stranglehold over it, was seen as a major economic objective.
Many Native American societies across the continent came to depend on the fur trade as their primary source of
income. By the mid 1800s, however, changing fashions in Europe brought about a collapse in fur prices. The American
Fur Company and some other companies failed. Many Native communities were plunged into long-term poverty and
consequently lost much of the political influence they once had
