Another stereotype. Trading cannot be possible if there is no need for certain goods. Saying that Indians were not active participants in the fur trade is ignorant and dumb.

stereotype
Sleeper-Smith's article shows that Europeans considered the Native as very demanding clients. This is shown by their actions as they adjusted to the demand of local tribes.
important members
European demand for fur meant that there was more work to be done processing the fur. Women were highly skilled at this and their contribution to the local economy made them important members of their communities. Clothing became the display of woman's skill and was a big part of the image of the village.
gift s, seal alliances,
These are some of the ways the Native people used the European goods in their every day life. Some of the uses were odd as perceived by Europeans but natural considering it is the first exposure to this products and they would have the exclusivity status in the Indian communities.
infl uenced the goods
The Natives still controlled the rich lands of North America and the Europeans started to adjust their production to the demand of the Indians. Beaver fur products became popular in Europe, meanwhile the Natives thought highly of the European clothes and used it to revolutionize the Indian dresses.
Montreal and Quebec
The fur trade was so profitable that the French started to expand in North America and was the biggest reason for them to move up North to present Canada. Fur was valuable as a raw material, which meant that it could be transported to Europe and processed further positively impacting the European economy.
A mu-tually benefi cia
Tadoussac became sort of a trading center where people form multiple nations could meet and trade. This meant that regions that lacked certain resources could till access them via trade.
krill bed
This was the reason that multiple indigenous tribes journeyed to Tadoussac. The area had very rich fish and marine life.
Spanish Armada
would this be one of the reasons that Spain later would have less influence in North America
cures
The Natives also helped the European fishermen with fresh foods and remedies to minimize their struggles at sea away from home

most likely caused more expeditions to North American lands due to his exaggerated descriptions.
form of metal goods,
Through the fishing trades the Natives get first exposure to the sophisticated metal goods from Europe
future encounter.
The early trade encounters directly influenced the survival of the colonials in Jamestown and Plymouth. The natives were already familiar with Europeans so they were more willing to help them with agriculture.

exaggeration
almost all children and women
cruel that the neutral population, with women and children suffer even tho they do not fight
the Apaches,
even if this wasn't true, it would psychologically affect the opponent
saw me
seems like he is exaggerating his own impact, if they had a few troops why would the Natives be scared.

it seemed to me that the Apaches were usually raiding the Spanish and the Pueblos, but now some of them joined the rebellion?
a clever Indian
Even though they married the Natives and the populations were assimilated to a certain degree, the Natives are still looked down upon. Assumes that if he didn't grow up with the Spanish, he wouldn't be clever.
really believed
The Spanish didn't expect the Pueblos to rebel. Was it because the generation that fought with them 80 years ago was dead and the new generation was underestimating their power?
Some Indians began to revive their old religion publicly
Seems like religion becomes usually more relevant in the time of crisis.
By drawing attention to such transcending continuities, the new scholarshipblurs the artificial separation of American history into pre- and post-contact domains.And by digging deep into the continent's pre-European past to understand the colonialhistory that followed, they help make that past relevant for scholars who may havethought it would be safe to ignore it.
I feel like this shows the importance of new studies conducted using new archeological methods.
Indigenous failure to thwart Europeanexpansion, argued the pioneering environmental historians William McNeill and AlfredCrosby, was primarily a biological rather than a cultural failure, which helpeddismantle the persistent notion of Native Americans as primitives beyond the pale. Itwas Europe's lethal pathogens, their way into Native bodies paved by the disruptionsand miseries of colonialism, not some casting defect in their cultures, that renderedIndians' resistance ineffective.

One of the stereotypes the world has enforced regarding Native North America. By doing so, it makes it easier to justify the European conquest of North America.
The new archaeological studies have allowed us to see the history of North Americabefore Europeans on its own terms rather than through the ethnocentric prism of old.Its key features—the mixed economies of hunting, gathering, and farming; theprevalence of mobility and nomadism; the fluidity of social formations—no longerappear as stunted or somehow misguided developments but as products of deliberate,creative choices
Details that the new archeological studies revealed.
If the history of America's settlement is being reconfigured, so too is the history ofwhat happened next.
good point to consider
Were the ancestors of contemporary Native Americans just one of many immigrantgroups and a relatively late one at that? And more controversially, did they conquer thehemisphere from earlier inhabitants, committing the first violent colonization ofAmerica?
One of the debates ignited by the challenges to the classic model
newarchaeological research based on advanced biochemical and DNA testing
one of the new technologies that challenged the classic model
he model had a bias toward sedentarism, economicspecialization, and large, centralized social formations—in other words, the kind ofdevelopments that came to define modern western Europe—which reduced NativeNorth America to a caricature: a vast wilderness world of wandering hunter-gatherers,failed farmers, and lost opportunities.
The kinds of biases present in the classic model.
It placed events intosequences and squeezed those sequences into tight chronological confines. It wasanchored in the twelfth millennium B.C.E., because that was when the ice-freecorridor was open and because that is when kill sites with distinctive bifacial Clovisprojectile points and large animal bones appeared in many parts of North America.
What the classic model is and why is it considered "rigid". Because evidence of civilization was found in South America, seems like they made assumptions to fill in the gaps?
it is12,000 B.C.E., the tail end of the last ice age, and humans are on the move. Smallgroups of nomadic hunters track big game across a recently surfaced land bridge fromSiberia to Alaska, where they discover an ice-free corridor leading to the south.
