The fur trade in North America began with the earliest contacts between the Iroquois and Europeans.Fur traders offered the Iroquois trade goods such as irons, knives, axes, awls, fish hooks, clothes,blankets, linen shirts, brass kettles,jewelry, glass beads, guns and powder.
The Iroquois were eager to have these goods so they traded with furs.
The beaver furs were the foundation of the trade, and Iroquois traded otter, mink, fox, bear and deer for price with Europeans.
