THE FUR TRADE IN COLONIAL NEW YORK~
Thomas Elliot Norton's THE FUR TRADE IN COLONIAL NEW YORK 1686-1776 is a book that can truly shape your colonial wip. How? From the history of capitalism to the meaning of the word "buck," you will find all sorts of wonderful information to weave into your colonial fiction. Not only was I as big a fan of mountain men as you know I am of Native Americans, I read this book for entertainment as much as I used the period details in THE FUR TRADE IN COLONIAL NEW YOUR on one of those epic sagas I'll never go back and touch with a ten-foot pole... Why? I've experienced closure and moved on. LOL. But for you and anything I might have on the wip back burner, the following chapters are packed with everything we can use to create a colonial political economy. However, I don't recall much ideological info in this treasure. I highly recommend you read up on the religions of the day. 
And if you want to know about Native Americans of the NE, look no further.
Check out the chapters:
Iroquois Warfare and Diplomacy
The Iroquois in an Age of Peace and Prosperity
The Albany Monopoly
Trade Regulations and Frontier Security
Traders and Merchants
The Fur Market
The Canadian Trade
Western Indians and New York Policy
Fur Traders, Politics, and the Road to Empire
