In Mowat's book 'The Alban Quest' or 'The Farfarers', he writes about contact with the Dorset people not the Inuit.

The "Navigatio" by St Brendan was written in the 7th Century about his voyages to Canada. (Columbus had a copy). He wrote that he was not the first and other monks had sailed to North America, Iceland etc. This is where the vikings learned about it.

I grew up in St Anthony which is just a few kilometers from the Viking settlement in Vinland. I have been to the site a few times. I am no historian or an intellectual but I couldn't help wondering why "here", Its a barren spot with little shelter from winds, forests are a good distance away and its fairly lifeless in the way of wild animals but just a short distance away were natural harbors, forests, etc. Better still is the fact that if they sailed another couple of days south the climate improves dramatically. Sail a week more and your in the St Lawrence river or even North Eastern US. I just couldn't see why they would choose to stay in that spot. just an opinion from someone who has actually been there.

They probably just used that spot as temporary base. It is likely they went further south and even inland through the rivers and great lakes. The thing with Newfoundland however, is that this settlement is the only one that have actually been proven to be Norse.

Quite true. I live in Ontario Canada and wild grapes grow all over the northeast. Birds love to eat the grapes and they spread the seeds everywhere. I have seen places where there were no grape vines then a few years later the place was covered with them, especially old fence rows around farm fields. Farley Mowat says he found an account by a French botanist who found grape vines in Newfoundland in the 1600s. In the period 800 - 1400 the climate was warmer than it is now and there were vineyards in England and other northern areas where they died out later. It is quite possible there were wild grapes growing in Newfoundland in 1000 AD.

I have a special love for canadians who have Nordic heritage it is beyond my understanding

According to the latest season of The Curse of Oak Island the Vikings were in Nova Scotia around the same time that they were in Newfoundland

So I would say that the Natives in general discovered North America. The reason being it doesn’t matter who you single out of the explorers and potential options. Such as Jacques Cartier-his story involves Natives, John Cabot-natives again, Christopher Columbus-Natives again, colonizers-killed Natives for land, Vikings-ran into Natives etc. It seems like no matter what you choose, the Natives were already there and had discovered the land.

The Norse were likely settled anywhere anywhere they had access to glacial run-off, where they originated. I would argue that ‘Vine’ means stream, or sweet water. Water with zero dissolved solids and no bacterial growth is a great contributor to health. It was also part of Norse religion to drink only sweet water, glacial run-off and to establish their communities around this resource. ‘Vinland’ was a land of fresh water streams, as is apparent from the locales chosen by Viking explorers, immediately south of Greenland. The whole thing about grapes is Americo-centric nonsense applied to myth. They were looking for glacial run-off to establish their colonies, failing that, would gladly seek out fast running fresh water, such as you would find in L’Anse-Aux-Meadows.

It wasn't Canada when the Vikings visited ..it was the First Nations. The Danish vikings ( ya they were half/half Danish/Norse by 1100 ad. ) visited what is today Greenland too. There were migrant hunters native there before them too.

Great job on the transcription and reading of the Norse Saga's, but the discovery of a butternut shows that Vineland is probably in New Brunswick: "The discovery of three butternuts and a piece of butternut wood at L’Anse Aux Meadows have led archaeologists to look at New Brunswick as a possible site for Vinland. The piece of butternut wood was a burl; burl in Old Norse is mösurr. Butternuts grow in hardwood forests and require a long and warm growing season. They have never grown in Newfoundland. The nearest place they occur wild is northeastern New Brunswick. They also grow in the St. Lawrence Valley as far east as St. Paul’s Bay east of Quebec City. They are not native to either Prince Edward Island or Nova Scotia although some have been planted there in modern times." forestryforum.com/board/index.php?topic=43740.0

Pronounce it as if it was spelled like this "NewfundLAND" with the emphasis on the last syllable and the "u" omitted.

From a much older language than English it is Talamh an Eisc fhe land of fish

John Cabbot's memoirs state that when he arrived at the mouth of the (latter known as St. Lawrence) river, he encountered countless Basque fishermen fishing! This is 1496, for crying out load! Apparently the working class folks had done the "discovery" a long before the effete and the elite!

Great job avoiding jacques Cartier in your intro...

Likely the Viking settlements would be in the vicinity of glacial run-off.

The Vikings (Norse) were not all from areas close to glaciers. Most were not. How do you explain the Norse in Sweden, for example?

Prononcation mistakes throughout. For example, generally the "w" in sword is silent.

The names of most of the Canadian locations are downright painful. Wrong stresses and vowel sounds in most of them. Also, ch in French (like Hochelaga, a French transcription of a native word) is the shushing equivalent of a sh in English. Hosh-a-la-ga, primary stress on the third syllable and secondary stress on the first when sounded in English. Much more slurred together with different vowel sounds in French (different stresses too).

And "maLAdy" instead of "MAlady".

I’m trying to understand why, in a video about Vikings, you mispronounce so many of their personal names and place names. Even more, I’m trying to understand why you glaringly mispronounce several coming English words, such as the word “malady.” Please explain whether you disregard the pronunciation guides in any dictionary on purpose, through accident, or through ignorance of how to read them.

Actualy this is where all the Mythologeys orgin from when the world was young.and some of the cradles of civ.

Please do proper research. Alþingið is not the oldest parliament in the world. You completely skip a major part of the Norse going west. They didn’t go directly to Iceland. They came to the Faroe Islands many years before, where the actual oldest parliament, Lögtingið, is located. The Faroese viking, Naddoddur, found Iceland by accident.

Well. Vikings never had hornet helmets. And no Wings😂😂😂😂

Old news learned 60 years ago...nothing new

Repeat after me: New Found Land. Newfoundland. Not newfinlend. We take offence to that. Say it right or don’t say it all. Even Canadians mess this up. Amazing video and content nonetheless, thank you.

Immigration to iceland stopped after the little ice age snd eventually the viking explorers assimilated, died by random natural events or ran into native tribes. Disease is also a possible factor and death from eating unknown vegetation/wild animals

Dealing with all the natural phenomenon and bad luck,wild animals, foraging for food, low women survival rate,etc made creating a new colony really difficult. - it's also possible that vikings(sea raiders) assimilated into the native tribes for survival and moved to river systems and became farmers again.

I think that goes without saying given Native Americans were living there at the time the Europeans arrive. This does not mean the Europeans didn't discover the Americas, it just means the point when they became aware of the existence of the Americas.

Good grief; lots of mispronounciation.
