Profiting from the fur trade
There different aspects of kind of fur -trade that colonial Delaware had. The most common was barter trade where the fur was traded with other things.

The two groups that profited from the fur trade were European traders and Indigenous peoples. European traders, particularly the French and British, capitalized on the demand for furs in Europe, especially beaver pelts for hat-making. Indigenous peoples, who were often involved in the trapping and trading process, gained access to European goods such as tools, weapons, and other supplies, which enhanced their lifestyles and economies. This exchange transformed both groups' economies and social structures.
