I'm going to start some research on the Red Paint People and I will use this thread/article as a starting point. Anyone that knows anything or can add anything are encouraged to do so.

I will begin posting other articles from the net on this thread.

I've just ordered a new book due out in June, 2006 titled: Red Paint People - A Lost American Culture, by Bruce Bourque.

Some say the Red Paint People can be dated in the Americas to 7-10,000 years ago and evidence of their culture have been found in Norway and some say all the way to France.

A) I think they're off by up to 7500 years (too young)

B) What they're looking for is not on land, but in water up to 100M deep. Only the very last of the "red paint" people would have moved that far inland as the climate warmed, and the seas rose up to their modern levels.

Beautiful country up there.

My aunt lives in the Codroy Valley, I went up to visit in 1997 and to do some fly fishing for Atlantics.

Friendliest people I've ever met.

...who hunted and fished the coasts of Labrador and Newfoundland for more than 2,000 years.

Lucky! I'm lucky if I can hunt and fish for a weekend!

"Some say the Red Paint People can be dated in the Americas to 7-10,000 years ago and evidence of their culture have been found in Norway and some say all the way to France."

The original does not provide hints;
should we take it that these were not of Oriental or "Amerind" type?

Interesting post. If they came by sea from Northern Europe (from east to west), it would be interesting to know the paleoclimatology about 10,000 years ago to see if it was feasible to run before the wind for most of the trip.
Atmospheric pressure gradients would also give an indication of the actual wind speeds.

I read quite some time ago that a wooden small boat was found on the northeastern northern coast of Greenland that had drifted there. The small boat was estimated to be at least 1,000 years old. The mystery is how it managed to make the voyage there.

The best episode of Nova I ever saw was on the Red Paint People. I taped it once when it was rerun. If you haven't seen it, you should endeavor to locate a copy of the show. You might be able to go to www.pbs.org/nova and look up the red paint people. The show links the Red Paint People to the monolith-builders of ancient Europe. Apparently, there was a circum-Atlantic culture that ranged from Malta to Atlantic Canada, and contact between Neolithic Europeans and Neolithic Indians.
