2 American Indians began making fewer things themselves.

Explanation:

As the French traded with the American Indians the American Indians received iron tools and "modern" weapons, which they were unable to make without the French. This led to the loss of Native American culture as time wore on and the American Indians became more and more dependent on French goods as the fur trade grew and expanded in French colonies.

its many islands, high mountains, and remote peninsulas isolated population centers.
