From the Great Lakes to the Pacific, and from the
Great Plains to the desert, the West before 1850 was
like a vast marketplace. This lesson accompanies
museum galleries that explore the stories of mer-
chants and hunters who met in trading posts and
villages across the continent.
Traders learned each other’s languages and cultures,
and they married into each other's families. Some
people made great profits, and others fell hopelessly
in debt. Trade linked individuals, families, and com-
munities in the West, and blended cultures.
Objectives
Students will:
• Understand the exchange of ideas and beliefs between Native and non-Native
people during the fur trade that began to create the culturally diverse West
of today
• Identify aspects of trade during the Colonial and American fur trade of the
1700s and 1800s
• Explore roles within the fur trade and challenges people faced by developing a
trade network within the classroom
