Native American trappers played a crucial role in the fur trade leveraging their deep knowledge of the land and trapping skills to harvest valuable furs, particularly beaver pelts. They often worked independently or in small groups, using traditional methods and techniques passed down through generations. Native American trappers were key intermediaries in trade networks, exchanging furs with European settlers and traders for goods such as firearms, metal tools, and textiles.
