Early European Trade in America
Trade between the Native American tribes has occurred in America for longer than can be recorded, however, the appearance of the Europeans changed the delicate balance that existed. In their attempt to obtain European goods, the Native Americans began to alter the way they lived and traded, and many conflicts arose. But as more and more Europeans colonized the New World, relations between Europeans and the Native Americans change from trade and cooperation into conflict; especially with the British settlements. As long as the Europeans only wanted to trade and not colonize, like the French in Canada, there were good relations, but in the end the expansion of the British, and later the independent Americans that all but destroyed a system that had existed for centuries.
Historians have discovered that long distance trade networks spanned the North American continent long before the arrival of Europeans. (Smith) For example, trade goods...
It was the abundant furs of North America that the Europeans sought and the Indians "traded furs for such goods as tools and weapons." ("The Fur Trade") In eastern Canada, Samuel Champlain established a trading post in 1608 on a site which would later become Quebec. Several decades later the British began to establish similar trading posts along the coast of modern day America. While the French respected and attempted to assimilate into the native culture, the British remained aloof and maintained their own culture.
The Indians were happy to trade furs to the British and French for European goods and as long as there were only a few traders relations remained on good terms. The British traded and allied with some tribes while the French with others. Allied tribes, like the Hurons who were allies of the French, were highly influenced by European culture.

Indigenous People (annotated Bibliography) Conservations of wildlife in Africa Barrett, C.B. (1995). Are Integrated Conservation-Development Projects (ICDP's) Sustainable on the conservation of Large Mammals in Sub-Saharan Africa? World Development 23(7): 1073-1084. Barrett (1995) investigated the link that exists between rural development and species conservation and established that rural development and species conservation has conceptual flaws that limit its appropriateness and sustainability when it is used to protect large African mammals.

This theme is further argued in the last chapter of the book, which presents a perspective into the future, with Queen Cockacoeske as a future Pocahontas, a future representative of her tribe in the relations with the English. The question that many of the indigenous people asked themselves, and this is extremely well presented in this book, is how to make this transition better and with as many benefits for
indigenous peoples. Bodley notes that these cultures are often small scale -- although not always (e.g. Inca, Maya). Development brings them into a larger world, where they are influenced by other cultures including global culture. Many of the cultures today viewed as indigenous came into contact with larger external cultures during the past five hundred years, a period characterized by a shift towards a global-scale culture.

Bartolome De La Casas Bartolome de las Casas was a Spanish Bishop who spent a sizable portion of his adult life crusading for the rights of indigenous peoples in the Americas, who were generally treated poorly under Spanish colonial rule.
