Hmm... I wonder if there are any traces of European gene variants in the indigenous population of that area.

This was a Portuguese territory and a post 1500 settlement attempt was made ~ it was shut down when Spain took over Portugal about 1531.
As is usually the case there is no evidence that everybody went back home.

The other way around, kinda. DNA from a female Native American entered the Icelandic population about 1000 years ago.

I know a guy who maintains that there is evidence that when Pilgrims arrived in Massachusetts Bay, there were inhabitants who had blond hair and blue eyes and said they were descendants of people from Nor-yah. (Norse for Norge, “Norway”). He did a high school paper on it. I cannot adduce any other evidence, but it is provocative.

One (at least) native American woman was taken to Iceland according to DNA studies.
