USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -These relations sustained the business of the fur trade. The French traded iron tools, kettles, wool blankets and other supplies for the furs to make hats, while Native peoples exchanged furs for goods from around the world.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Huron-Wendat were farmers who grew corn, beans, and squash. Sixty-five percent of their diet consisted of corn. Dried and shelled, the corn was pounded into flour or sometimes ground between stones. Corn soup (sagamité) was enriched with fish, meat and squash.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Huron-Wendat traditionally practiced an animist religion, in which humans, animals, plants, and even objects had souls. Humans had between two and five souls, some which would stay with the corpse after death, while others would move on to the Village of the Dead, the afterlife in the far west.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hurons, meaning “boar’s head, ” came from the Old French hure, which referred to the male Hurons’ bristly coiffure. The name also meant “rough” and “boorish.” Although the French gave them this name, the Hurons called themselves Wendat, Guyandot, or Wyandot.
