Missionaries often traded goods such as tools, textiles, metal items, and food with First Nations people in exchange for furs, food, and information about the land. This exchange facilitated cultural interactions, but it also sometimes led to the disruption of traditional economies and ways of life. The relationships were complex, involving both cooperation and exploitation. Overall, the trade was a means of establishing connections while also advancing the missionaries' religious and cultural goals.
