Question

BRAINILEST According to this passage, which items did explorers buy from American Indians?

fur and beads
fish and clothing

Passage: They said she was a larger ship than they had ever seen since, that she was coppered . . . (this I suppose to have been gilt or painted yellow), that she had a great many guns and men, that the officers wore blue laced coats, and that most of the men wore handkerchiefs about their heads. They made them presents of large pearl shells . . . knives with crooked blades and black handles. The natives sold them fish and their garments but no furs. When they first saw this ship, they said they were exceedingly terrified and but few of them ever ventured alongside.

–Joseph Ingraham, 1789
