Is Amerindian DNA unsimilar to Greenland eskimo or arctic circle Lapps? The fact that Greenland had a thriving colony that traded with Iceland and Scandinavia during the Medieval Warm Age would make it likely for native Greenlanders to find their way to Iceland.

Absolutely.

The Lapps (A derogatory term for the Sa'ami people) are different haplogroups than the Eskimos. The most common DNA amongst the Sa'ami are R1b, U5a, 'V' and 'I' (very European).
I have R1b and 'V' DNA.

I look like Paul Newman.

Renee Zellweger is a Sa'ami

Absolutely not. Instead of just absolutely.
