What is one impact that the french fur trade had on native americans?

The fur trade allowed for the French settlers to "become" part of Native society. Understanding that a successful trading partnership would require that they understand the language and culture of the Natives in the area, they began to marry into Native tribes and become an integral part of helping the Natives survive. By trading the furs for manufactured goods from Europe, the French were able to forge a (relatively) peaceful trading partnership.

The answer should be a.
