The want of natural resourse sometimes resulted in colflict because sometimes there wouldn't be much to trade and it was needed greatly so it would result in more of a desperate time for resources. Trade was one of the first bridges between New England colonists and local Native American populations. ... The Native Americans provided skins, hides, food, knowledge, and other crucial materials and supplies, while the settlers traded beads and other types of currency (also known as “wampum”) in exchange for these goods.
Hope that helped
