The chief occupation of the Dutch in New Netherland was the fur trade, facilitated by the Dutch West India Company. Established in the 17th century, this trade connected the Dutch with Native American tribes, particularly the Iroquois, to meet European demand for furs. This economic focus played a significant role in the colony's development and interactions with local populations.
