How did first nations and Europeans both benefit from the fur trade?

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.
