I wish i could remember it exactly, one of our wrestling coach was Native American and he had this saying, "Let my enemy be smart and brave so that i may feel pride in victory." Always had the best stories about Sitting Bull and what it means to be a war cheif, how its better to fight smart than strong. Man he was a good guy. Helped me get into college

Can you imagine how brave a missionary would have to be, to make a cold call, on the Vikings?

You are a GIFTED narrator my man. I can perfectly visualize scenario and setting you describe, and it’s made this channel easily one of my favorites. We all appreciate the work you do!

The Vikings came with conquer on their minds. The natives said, "Oh no you're not!"

Been waiting for this. Love your videos

Gorm is written on a stone. William Wallace is written on a stone. Calalus was found in Arizona. So much history. Thank You. Love it all. Medicine Gat Geoglyphs have a chiefs head and a viking head. Cyclopian walls in Montana. Etc. Etc.

The Harvard Classic Series has a book on American history that coverings early writings. It chronological so the first entries are the writings of the Vikings. They cover contact with natives and Freydís Eiríksdóttir betrayal of her expedition. Would be a great source for a future video.

OH MAN! I have a long drive tomorrow and so looking forward to this!

Another great video thanks again!

Im enjoying these stories. Thank you.

Poetic justice. Those Indians moved to present day Greenbay, Wisconsin, by the way. They still know what to do to Vikings there.

Incredible to think how far the Vikings went in their open boats. Coming to North America hundreds of years before any other Europeans. I really enjoyed your short video. 💪🏻🙏🏻✨

Brilliant looking forward to more!!

this channel is continuously excellent.

Can't wait for more on this topic.

Do you have a video of the Oatman massacre? In Arizona west of Gila Bend. The old Norman battalion trail. I think it was 1853. I’ve been there several times. The wagon ruts are work into the volcano rock.

more of these please great videos man

You have presented an exciting narrative of Norse and indigenous people. How might history been different had the Norse been able to conquer and settle North American as they had much of Europe.

GREAT video

And with these Norsemen and Proto-Inuit began a legacy of bloodshed that wouldn’t end until the last Bronco Apache was killed in the Sierra Madre Mountains in the 1920s.

Another winning episode of distant historical events! Thank you )

Thanks!

Great stuff

Wonderful narrative.

A Viking invasion of Baltimore would be quite exciting.

I can't wait for the day when channels get the true recognition you deserve! Your channel for sure will walk the red carpet sir!

As a side note: Many people are not aware, that during this time (about 800 - 1000 A.D.) Europe suffered equally from raiding Vikings (Scandinavians), Moors (Muslims) and Magyars (Hungarians). Though the Vikings as Normans and the sedentary Magyars as the Hungarian Kingdom later became defenders of Western Europe against continuing Muslim raids and conquest. The Hungarians (like the Poles) also in the end fending off the Mongols for good, after initial defeats.

Fascinating!!!

Brave people who lived in the day. I would be terrified of going into battle with a Viking warrior. They were deadly and respected. Thank you 💛 so much for the history!!!

@historyattheokcorral Regarding some of the poems the narrator recites, are the sources only written in Old (Shakespearean Era) English? Perhaps a (Greenland Norse) Germanic/Latin dialect accent would be more befitting...? But please don't try and sound like Arnold Sw...😉

Well done

Fun historical narrative, but how is all this known? What are the source documents?

I’m positive that the natives saw them as dangerous, perhaps after getting to know them a bit. Perhaps some natives tested them and found they were really good at fighting and killing. Afterwards, the natives likely panicked and resolved to oppose them wholly. So the natives gathered in strength and either killed all the settlers, or caused them to vacate. I honestly can’t imagine any other reason the natives would decide to be so hostile. If the Vinland Vikings were docile, peaceful, and harmless, I believe the natives would have accepted them.

What "casegriffin2205" said--great narration sparks the imagination--like the radio stories of old

The channel should be called the abandoned lot adjacent to the OK corral!!!

Maybe a video on De Soto and his journey in N America.

Nice, I was hoping you would made this into a history.

My understanding of that period of history and geographic area, was that it was American Indians whom the Vikings did meet, not the Thule at this point. They were too far South for Thule. I could be wrong due to recollection, but would be inclined between that it was American Indians (who also fiercely battled with the Thule). Also the Norsemen didn't have the heretofore massive military advantage over other folks, as coming from Greenland, they were far poorer supplied and equipped. They had a massive iron shortage especially in later years which is why they were so delighted with their find of thick forestry in Vinland. They desperately needed huge quantities of timber which gave them the essential charcoal. You need a LOT of timber though to produce charcoal, and the initial forays into Greenland and Iceland were tragic in that they quickly eradicated the trees which were growing there. Little did they know that Iceland and Greenland had THE most vulnerable and thinnest soils in the World, Iceland being the worst. The eradication of trees for farming led to terrible wind erosion of the soil, leading to Iceland's infamous "Lunar landscape". Regeneration would be centuries or millenia in the making and they still have legacy problems there to this day. And just as we're on the topic, the ending of Norse life in Greenland was due to far more complex factors than just the simple line which is glibly bandied about "It got too cold due to the Little Ice Age and they all does." Anyway, the Norse discovery of Vinland, Greenland and Iceland is EXCEPTIONALLY well-documented in Jared Diamond's novel "Collapse" of anyone is interested. I find their history fascinating for some reason.

Us imaginative people are a dying breed... Keep em coming OK!!

_Only_ Rambo draws first blood.

Greenland was green before the mini-ice-age, which began shortly after our arrival. Listen to Prem Rawat!

Never will understand why these raiding parties were never countered with destruction of their ships during their raids.

You have encountered some random strangers napping. Do you: A. pass them by B. say hello C. murder the bastards in their sleep, then go to sleep heedless of a possible counterattack Viking logic chooses C.

you have mentioned the porcupine reference in too many videos now. but in reality it was probably like 50-100 projectiles that landed. not like there was a army of natives that came, maybe 50? to their dozen?

if my boss was killed and asked me to take his body back to the place where he was killed, i might just throw him overboard. just saying.

Heck Yea 👍

Monasteries were also prisons. In the minds of Norsemen, they were the hubs from which forced conversions were done, whereby whole nations had been overcome and the menfolk killed or deported and replaced by romans and now-mixed Franks. Therefore the Viking Age was mainly a pre-emptive war of self-defense. Perhaps read The Franks by Franz Los if you can find a translation. Listen to Prem Rawat!

Yo about time for the Glanton Gang...

The Tool, today's descendants called the Inuet, could have migrated to Utah? A town called Tooele, Utah is the reason behind the question, usually named after the Village tribe in the area, historical notes. The U. S. Army did this quite frequently. As time "marches on" renaming does happen, only to damage the structure of many areas of significance tied to the threads of time. (Reference: an indirect reference in my observation is when a Wedded wife takes her husband's name legally, and does not keep her name, middle name and maiden name, other names, in her wedded marriage, in the U.S.A. Although I can't see a reason why not, as the children born to her are tied to her by her maiden name mostly, and her married name, too, legally in the USA.) The Tool vs. the Viking, Pathfinder Movie reminiscences, so then Pathfinder the movie, has a "based on true life" resound. And, The Norseman movie, does too have this resound of "based on true life" since fighting battles to death was the way of their battle. Documentaries "resound" history. History is "resounded" in history. History is yesterday. Today, many Native Americans and Scandinavian (Viking) people, can guarantee in many claims and believe in many claims, they together have descendants who claim both these peoples as ancestors and each other as family and potential Wedded spouses. Since many descendants of both the Viking (Scandinavian) and Tool (Inuet; Native American), including today, do have an opposing voice of hatred against the hatred of the assuming, the assuming of wrong guesswork repeated deformed "talk", the Wedded Bliss is experienced between most all who love including if both are from a "blended culture", and, now the warful inner biology of both Warrior sides are only met in today's society against the women and men who are against the truth of love and life, especially of our own family history. As many encounters between the two cultures have proved to be expressively "fun".

However history may view the Norsemen, faults & all, you cannot doubt their bravery to continually voyage into the unknown & with regards to north America, being hopelessly outnumbered.

It's rumored they actually came as far as Martha's Vineyard and that is actually vinland

vinland saga reference

HUH? one native from under the boats got killed. AND also got away? 7:50 WTF

Greenland: Possibly the first, and most egregious, case of false advertising ever documented!

🔥♥️🔥

Reminds me of an island uhhh I don't know where, it was on KZfaq not sure if it still is, anyway the island has been deemed a nogo on every single map, the nearest government swore off any additional attempts to reach the island because there are lunatic tribal people there who shoot arrows and hurl rocks at any boat or ship that comes close. Could the military of the nearest country just wipe them out? Absolutely, but they instead agreed to just leave them alone --- for now

While I like this kind of stuff, who documented things and kept those documents for modern day people to talk about?

I bought one of these a few years ago. Lasted about two years. With new battries in it it refused to open and my gun was locked inside. I had to destroy it to get it open.

In Jamie Fox's voice "Tor-vald. The 'h' is silent"

"Indignant and rightfully infuriated native inhabitants" - would today be called waycists, just wanting to preserve their homeland, people and way of life from being overrun and obliterated.

Viking vs comanche eh

1:50 This isn't true, Greenland does not refer to the color, "Green" in this contest means "new" just as aged cheeses are called "green cheese" before it is aged.

Id bet the vikings attacked first....after 1000 years of blood shed and raiding, i doubt they arrived in thenew world and were like: "you know what...lets stop doing things the easy way and work our butts off farming instead"

Aren't there Native American groups present to current times in Greenland?

Please , pardon my correction. Norse were/are Heathen. Pagan is Buddhist (B.C - 500 years before Christianity.

The Vikings, particularly the Norse. Were clearly a formidable people. But what is little told is how they scurried back to their longboats when attempting to raid the people of wales. Many small islands around the coast of wales have Viking names. Flatholm, steepholm etc but not one town nor city was touched by them. Unlike the rest of the British isles which have norse and danish place names far and wide. The welshmen of that time were clearly the most fierce warriors of the age, having been hardened by centuries of conflict with their much larger neighbour.

It wasn't just that we was trying to entice people to move to Greenland, Greenland was greener and warmer back then. This was pre mini ice age and Europe was quite a bit warmer back then. Hence the grapes growning in Newfoundland which until GMOs became a thing hasn't been possible because it's still too cold in the area.

Yes not all Scandinavians where Vikings, and not all Vikings where Scandinavians ... Frisians for exemple. A Viking is basically a pirate or raider, not all Scandinavian invasions where Viking led !

Inuits didn’t use bow and arrows

maybe the first fight

In Norwegian history or talk to generation to generation or some sagas we heard that they first tryed to trade and was freinds but another tribe stole some axes and the viking s then atackt back but the tribe said it was not stealing so i guess we Will never know what really happened Greetings CZ 75 Shadow 🇧🇻🇨🇴

Skraelings!

I thank you as always for this daily peace. Thorwald Erikson was a coward in compare to his brothers. I guess you take the mixing of two seperate sources because the killings took place down southwards and the Groenlanders had all similar names..You cant hide under a up side down Kajak what the Inuit still used at this time but under a canoe and this means early Indians instead . They keep the noseless(there name for the Eskimos = raw meat eater ) way north. The Groenlander wo killed the sleeping Natives was Thorhall the huntsman. I love your channel anyway. Best regards from Northern Germany Ludwig.

Vikings did of course, like they always did.

Asian are the first civilization and also Native americans.and .Native Australian..came from Rama.. Sukriva ..and Anjaney origins lived inthis continent and ruled this entire..world...

The teaching company has a great series on the vikings including north america, although its been awhile so I don't remember this story. The one I heard was when they set up their first village, and apparantly they began trading with first nations, and the story goes they gave them some milk, which made the natives violently ill. HOwever, before the natives could attack, the vikings had been involved in one of their infamous inter family feuds. THe wife of the leader apparantly was more viking than her husband, she had been killing the other women, while the men were fighting, so as the first nations showed up to attack, they must have been confused by the battle that was already waging between the vikings, so they just left. THe remaining vikings then went back to scandinavia, having been vanquished not by the sea, the new world, or the natives, but themselves. Iceland did much better, setting up europes first parliament. For those who don't know, apparantly greenland was named by an enterprising viking to try to encourage people, while iceland was so named to discourage them, since their terrain was opposite to their names.

summing up the Norsemen as "bellicose businessmen" and the aboriginal Siberians (aka native americans. a joke if there ever was one) as proud warriors is a bit of a cheap shot, tbh. however, I'll choose to disregard that particular summation and focus on the story itself. what I'll take from the story instead is the tale of a single viking ship and accompanying crew losing but a single shipmate to what amounted to an ammo dump by an extremely larger, opposing force. not only that, they were able to sail back home and report on their mission. sounds as if one were to be inclined to take pride in such an accomplishment, this situation would definitely qualify as one of those situations . . . that said, all in all this was a great story. it just gets exhausting hearing how Europeans and Europeans alone were somehow in the wrong and future generations should be shamed into believing such nonsense. we played the same game of life that they were playing and we came out on top. that doesn't make us the bad guys, that makes us the better man in the match. all told, if we were the evil genocidal mad men we've been accused of being we would've treated any survivors as our opponents would, and that would have been complete annihilation. yet we were the ones to continue to sue for peace and to work towards coexistence (and more as far as reparations made after the fact are concerned) so no, we've nothing to be ashamed of and everything to be proud of. . . and i know, a good many folks will take issue with my take here which is fine they have the right. however, i invite them to go visit a so-called native tribe, any tribe they choose, and see how far any of that kumbiya we are the world bull butter gets em.

The Vikings never ever had horns on their helmets. That is a fallacy.

The Indian village had horses in it ,how accurate is this

The Vikings. They drew first blood.

both natives and scandinavians share the same paternal lineage.

These men did what they did out of necessity to survive... They didn't do it for fun... They were just fighting to survive and build a way of life for their children

Hostile Enemy Aliens (HEA)

Hagoth '

I keep saying Viking is a verb not a noun.

Obviously the vikings win 🏆

Knowing the Vikings it was probably them,he'll first time they landed one of the vikings killed like 2 natives and a 3rd got away and brought back up and then the Vikings left,but to be fair it could have been both of them I'm only saying Vikings cause ewe know more about them.

The Horse was not a part of native American culture until after the European conquest began. Why is there a depiction of natives with horses during this period?

Natives beat the Vikings? Hell yea

It wasn't Rambo

Vineland was cape cod ... theres stones here with engravings signed by Leif Erikson

Should’ve tried peace first

People tend to romanticize Vikings as Warriors a little too much in my opinion😅. Fighting conscripted peasants, farmers and very poor broken up armies is pretty much what they did that is considered Warrior like, i like to think of them more as adventurers that knew how to make a buck.

I'm sure the vikings drew first blood.....they were just that way not knowing any better.

They wouldn't have had horses would they . Until the Spanish and English started dropping them off there werent any horses .

THEY DREW FIRST BLOOD

It is unlikely many Greenlanders would have chainmail.

Algorithm

I would like to point out the Native American DNA found in Iceland So it appear they could kiss just as well as they could kill Just saying as a Native American Viking hybrid myself
