Who were the first non-indigenous to land in the Americas? If not the Spanish, why don't we discuss them more? If the first group was different from the Spanish, why didn't they stay? How do we find information about historical events when there are no written primary sources? Today in class we will be discussing the Vikings arrival in the Americas, centuries before other European arrival! Welcome to Our Podclass!
