1362 AD Norsemen settled in Minnesota

Dated 1362, the inscription refers to a party of 30 who had traveled “far west of Vinland.” This suggests that established history is wrong, and westerners made it to America, far before Columbus, Wolter said. He speculated that the travelers came to Minnesota possibly to take advantage of fur trade or to make land claims.

One of Canada's top Arctic archeologists says the remnants of a stone-and-sod wall unearthed on southern Baffin Island may be traces of a shelter built more than 700 years ago by Norse seafarers, a stunning find that would be just the second location in the New World with evidence of a Viking-built structure.

Thanks for notifying us about this!

Me being Minnesotan Norwegian, this is pretty exciting to hear of new news of early Scandinavian voyagers
Not that I haven't heard of them coming this early...

But I hate the brainwashed Columbus faggots who still think he was first, and denotes us as dumb... 

Oh and by the way this is my first post here, I'd like to say hi to all of you first of all

Being a Minnesotan all my life, this is interesting news. I'm not of Scandanavian decent, so this doesn't hit as close to home as to some people, yet still, very interesting.

Can you be sure you are not of Scandinavian descent?  If you have British descent then there's a good chance of it.

No. Only Russian and German descent. I know there maybe the slightest chance of it, but that would make it so many generations ago, that it wouldn't even matter.
