Diverse Indigenous cultures across North America engaged in extensive trade networks, spanning vast distances and connecting various tribes for centuries. The exchange of goods, such as food, tools, clothing, and cultural items, not only facilitated commerce but also fostered relationships and alliances among different groups. These trade networks were crucial for the survival and development of Indigenous societies, allowing for the sharing of resources and knowledge. The trading routes crisscrossed the continent, from the Pacific Northwest to the Great Plains, from the Northeast woodlands to the Southwest deserts, showcasing the complexity and ingenuity of Indigenous trade practices. This interconnected web of commerce played a significant role in shaping the cultural landscape of pre-Columbian North America. #IndigenousTrade #NativeAmericanCulture #IntertribalCommerce
