Furs were the most valuable item traded between French colonists and Native Americans. The fur trade was a significant economic activity in French colonies, particularly in places like New France (present-day Canada) where beaver fur was highly sought after. The French exchanged various goods such as guns, ammunition, blankets, and metal objects for furs, which were then exported to Europe.
