You bet, and if it weren't for our ancestors poor America would have been deprived of lutefisk.

Not only that but I am one hundred percent Native American, born in Minnesota of Norwegians all. And the Vikings were here before me.

It was covered a few nights ago on either the History or Discovery Channel. The ink proved to be out of date for the time as well as artificially aged. There were also several cartographic and linguistic errors.

Vikings, who departed from Greenland around the year 1000, were the first to land in the Americas

The historians entirely miss the point the layman grasped long ago. The layman knows that who first discovered America doesn’t matter as much as whose discovery stuck.

Thanks for that picture. I remember going on a summer vacation with my parents to Alexandria ('69 or '70??) and all I really remember about it was the big Viking. It's a pleasant shot of nostalgia to see him again.

The map is said to date from 1434

That's five centuries before columbus?

I watched Fargo with my mom and she didn't notice the parody accent. That's how Norsky my family is.
