Since there is a direct link between the Norse populations and the north-east Indians I am indeed interested to hear more on the origin, history and destiny of the Iroqoui.

We already know that there once were a culture of Norse settlements all along the shores of Greenland, Baffin Island, Labrador, New Foundland, Hudson, Ontario, Quebec - and down the east-coast all the way to   Virginia and Carolina. 30 years ago they even found the fragments of a Norse ship on the shores of Haiti, dated to just about 1.000 AD...

Since the trade-markets of Norse and Indian artefacts were excavated in the Hudson Bay it is clear that these contacts were well established and prosperous for centuries - at least - until the Roman conquest of the ultimate north finally succeeded, during the 11th and 12th century.

The destiny of the Lappish, the Eskimos and the Iroqui seems to describe a late edition of that very same conquest. The Norse populations of Greenland and then Labrador and New Foundland were taken into capity and sold as slaves during the 14th and 15th century. Thus the early qonquistadors changed the name of the old Norse area of "Mark-land" into "Labradores".

I have always been wondering why these great leakes to the central north/ north-east of Canada is called The Slave Lakes...?

Are there any Iroqui's still around - and do they have their own history somewhat intact?

Best regards
