First European Contact The Vikings First European Contact

Who were the Vikings The people we now call Vikings were actually a mix of different nationalities. The Norse, the Danes and Swedes. Viking is actually just the old Norse term for “Raider”

Common misconceptions The Vikings actually were mostly farmers and traders, only raiding when they knew a weak target. Often a Norse trader would visit your village and trade, but come back the next year and steal back everything he sold you. They did not have horns on their helmets. No really, no horns.

The killing and looting part is mostly true though

How did they get to Canada?

How do we know about the Vikings in Canada? Two things, same as with the First Nations. Oral History (In this case the Saga of Erik the Red) Archeological evidence (the L’anse ayx Meadows site)

Some of what the Saga says: Chapter 12 Now it came to pass that a bull, which belonged to Karlsefni's people, rushed out of the wood and bellowed loudly at the same time. The Skrælingar, frightened thereat, rushed away to their canoes, and rowed south along the coast. There was then nothing seen of them for three weeks together. When that time was gone by, there was seen approaching from the south a great crowd of Skrælingar boats, coming down upon them like a stream, the staves this time being all brandished in the direction opposite to the sun's motion, and the Skrælingar were all howling loudly. Then took they and bare red shields to meet them. They encountered one another and fought, and there was a great shower of missiles. The Skrælingar had also war-slings, or catapults. Then Karlsefni and Snorri see that the Skrælingar are bringing up poles, with a very large ball attached to each, to be compared in size to a sheep's stomach, dark in colour; and these flew over Karlsefni's company towards the land, and when they came down they struck the ground with a hideous noise. This produced great terror in Karlsefni and his company, so that their only impulse was to retreat up the country along the river, because it seemed as if crowds of Skrælingar were driving at them from all sides. And they stopped not until they came to certain crags. There they offered them stern resistance. Freydis came out and saw how they were retreating. She called out, "Why run you away from such worthless creatures, stout men that ye are, when, as seems to me likely, you might slaughter them like so many cattle? Let me but have a weapon, I think I could fight better than any of you." They gave no heed to what she said. Freydis endeavoured to accompany them, still she soon lagged behind, because she was not well; she went after them into the wood, and the Skrælingar directed their pursuit after her. She came upon a dead man; Thorbrand, Snorri's son, with a flat stone fixed in his head; his sword lay beside him, so she took it up and prepared to defend herself therewith. Then came the Skrælingar upon her. She let down her sark and struck her breast with the naked sword. At this they were frightened, rushed off to their boats, and fled away. Karlsefni and the rest came up to her and praised her zeal. Two of Karlsefni's men fell, and four of the Skrælingar, notwithstanding they had overpowered them by superior numbers. After that, they proceeded to their booths, and began to reflect about the crowd of men which attacked them upon the land; it appeared to them now that the one troop will have been that which came in the boats, and the other troop will have been a delusion of sight. The Skrælingar also found a dead man, and his axe lay beside him. One of them struck a stone with it, and broke the axe. It seemed to them good for nothing, as it did not withstand the stone, and they threw it down.

What did contact between Viking and First Nation really look like?

Evidence of both Trade and fighting appear to have been common Chainmail, smelted iron, fragments of barrels have all been found in Inuit villages. Myths about the Vikings explain why the Inuit where not surprised to see the later Europeans, they already knew of other, strange, people.
