Beaver Wars (1640s-1680s), a series of conflicts between Iroquois and Algonquin tribes living near the Great Lakes. Involvement in the fur trade destabilized Native American cultures by introducing European diseases and by imparting economic stresses on natural resources. When demand for beaver furs led to the animals' being hunted out in traditional Iroquois land, tribal groups began expanding into Algonquin territories, leading to an escalating cycle of warfare.
