Talk:Native American trade

"Indian trade" not synonymous with "Fur trade"
The content and internt here is not at all synonymous with that of the article on the Fur Trade. This article is weak and needs citations, but its intent is clearly to assay the relationship between European adventurers/settlers and the Native peoples of North America. While fur trading and its relationships indeed were an important aspect of the latter they amount to but one subset thereof.

Anyone wishing to edit and expand this article is welcome. Ditto to find a more representative name for it, integrate its content at a page where its subject is germanely examined, or propose a redirect there. It is inappropriate however make it disappear into a redirect to an article on a much narrower topic that does not deal with its thrust (of culturally induced confusion between the two sides of early trading relationships).

 * I'm afraid your comments are extremely unclear to me. What is it exactly you would like to have undone?  Who, exactly, is suggesting that this article is the same as fur trade?  Who is assaying whom?  What is a subset of what?  In other words, just what in tarnation are you talking about? --Kevlar (talk • contribs) 06:52, 20 July 2011 (UTC)


 * It has been some time since your enquiry to be regarding the title of this section, and a good deal longer since it was posted. To borrow your adjective, tarnation if I can tell you at this point what it was supposed to have read.  Best I can work out is that there is a typo and the title should have read "Undo a redirect to Fur trade page".  Or something like that, as that is what I had done and was exorting against being undone.  Hope this helps, Kevlar67. Cheers. 174.63.66.103 (talk) 20:50, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Since I am the author of the confusing section title I have taken the liberty of renaming it closer to the thrust of my original comments. I hope this is jake.174.63.66.103 (talk) 20:52, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
