    Resource: Leif Erikson

    $2.00

    The title of first European to reach North America belongs more correctly to the Viking Leif Erikson, than to Christopher Columbus. The son of Erik the Red who settled Greenland, Leif Erikson led several expeditions along the coast of Labrador and Newfoundland.

    The Vikings even built houses and spent some winters in North America, as archaeology continues to reveal to us, supporting the stories from the ancient Scandinavian Sagas.

    This resource examines the current knowledge for the life and achievements of this Viking explorer.

    Resource: Vikings in North America

    $2.00

    The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach North America, more than 1000 years ago. The Vikings established settlements and traded with indigenous people in North America for about 400 years, finally abandoning the continent less than 100 years before Columbus’ voyage.

    This resource examines the Viking activities in North America and is an excellent complement to other Geography and History resources focussing on North America and the ‘explorations’ of the world by Europeans.
