Description
From Contributor: "This is a great group of people I have the privilege of working with this summer, they are from the Tsilhqot’in Nation in western B.C. Canada, and although First Nation / Viking contact may be limited to brand logos on safety gear in this century we are hoping that you will post our reminder that according to the sagas and subsequent archaeological data that there were Norse Viking settlements in North America from 1000 A.D. ... The Smithsonian website references ‘300 years of sporadic contact between the Greenlandic Norse’ and diverse indigenous groups (http://naturalhistory.si.edu/vikings/1137.html)."
Norse contact with First Nation peoples is referenced in particular in the Vinland sagas ('The Saga of Erik the Red' and 'The Saga of the Greenlanders').
