#greenland #norse history #super interesting #although at the end when it says europeans could have never adapted to inuit life to survive i'm ://// #i keep seeing it mentioned elsewhere that centuries after the norse settlement was abandoned they found the body of a norse person #in a inuit-style seal skin in greenland #so i'm sure not all of them #but a few maybe #and there is evidence of some european settlers in n. america going to live in indigenous communities from time to time especially early on #i feel like that creates this implication that living like that is too uncivilized compared to european way of life that it wouldn't have #even been thinkable... #:(
