Fellow LENAPE LEARNERS,

“Here is a link I came upon a few years ago,
when I had been contacted by a film group from Washington, who were making a Viking Movie series. I have not heard if they completed their project.
The
text states that "Norse "Vinland" was the final choice suggested,
namely the Cowichan Valley in the southeast corner of Vancouver Island, British
Columbia, Canada”
We MUST rebut this Post with
valid evidence. Otherwise we will
be left with another faulty interpretation of the LENAPE History.
Viewers, who do not take the time to look at the evidence, may conclude that the LAST VIKING,
VIKING VISITORS to NORTH AMERICA, and LENAPE LAND are all of
the same quality—suspicious and
not worth believing or reading carefully.
This is another case of a
bad article spoiling the accumulated understanding of the LENAPE history.
The LAST
VIKING states:
that we do NOT know where
the people of Greenland went.
That statement is
NOT valid. We have the LENAPE
HISTORY of their migration in America until AD 1585.
that the Norse reached the
Pacific Coast via the free [melted ice] water in the Arctic passage.
The LENAPE history said that
they “went everywhere” Lenape
words like “Kennewick" and "Yakama" in Washington state are evidence that they
did. But they probably pioneered
the Lewis and Clark trail centuries before Lewis and Clark did. That route is mostly a water route. The LENAPE were at home on the water.
Those are a couple of the
“Biggies.” There appear to be more.
See if you can find them and write something in the comments.
