Upon contact with Europeans such as the English, French and
the Spanish, the trade develop as the Indians exchange fur, hides for
cloth. Also new animals were introduced
such as sheep, pig and cattle. The horse
was prized as a means of transportation.
Unfortunately there were also negative changes such as the introduction
of diseases like smallpox, measles and chickenpox. Many died as a result of contracting these
diseases. Also with more Europeans
settling in the new world, many Indian tribes were displaced from their lands.
