Everything I say can be fully substantiated by my own opinion.

It depends on how worldly the Native American was.  Most frontier businessmen were pretty unscrupulous, so if they could dazzle him with shiny objects or fancy looking junk, the Native American would get gypped.

The more savvy Native American would probably want the same things the white trappers wanted; tools and munitions, provisions and liquor.  Cash wasn't all that important; it's not like there were many malls in the mountains.
