Voyageurs and coureurs du bois travelled the rivers of Canada, learning a great deal about survival in the wilderness from the native people. In exchange, native people were able to purchase European made goods, such as metal pots and pans, blankets, snares, weapons, and tools that made their lives easier. Alcohol was often used as a trading tool as well.
