Indigenous Peoples and Environmental Change
Trade networks refer to the interconnected systems of exchange and commerce that facilitated the movement of goods, resources, and cultural practices among different groups. These networks were essential in establishing relationships between Indigenous communities, allowing for the sharing of materials like food, tools, and crafts, which contributed to social cohesion and economic stability. They played a significant role in shaping both social structures and economic practices within pre-colonial societies.
