[edit] More about the English/Dutch??

I mostly know about the activities to the north and thus the over emphasis on the french... Does anyone have a little better knowledge on the origins of the English and Dutch activities below the St. Lawrence to start introducing the conflicts that were a result of the French/Wyandot and English/Iroquois alliances?

[edit] external link to Video Documentary

I wish to argue that this product *Video documentary on Fur Trade is truly relevant to this article and as the producer of this content I will be spending some time expanding the 'fur trade' throughout the wikipedia database as I have spent a considerable amount of time researching the subject. It's not as if I'm linking fur trade tee shirts... This is a thorough documentary on the subject matter Upshot 21 August 2006

[edit] Overview

Could someone familiar with the fur trade write a historical overview, and make it the intro? jareha 16:36, 21 November 2005 (UTC)

"Pelt" redirects here. Why not to "fur" or "pelage"? This is one specific use of pelt(s) and does not accurately reflect the term. Istvan 05:32, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
