Beaver Pelts Used for Everything From Hats to Medicine

  • サマリー

  • During Shakespeare's lifetime England, along with other European nations, began intentional exploration to the New World, where they not only established colonies but established commerce relationships with the native tribes they found there. Exchanges in what the Dutch West India Company called ‘New Netherland’ included trades of beaver pelts and shell beads with tribes like the Algonquian Indians, who you may remember from our episodes on Squanto, Samoset, and The establishment of Fort Raleigh. Our guest this week has done an indepth project into the trade, commerce, and diplomatic relationships between Europeans and the native tribes of the New World, specifically looking at how beaver pelts (which were hugely popular in England for the 16-17th century) were traded and used for everything from hats to medicine. We are delighted to welcome Molly Leech to the show today to help us understand the role of wampum in Shakespeare’s history. Get bonus episodes on Patreon
