You mentioned Columbus as the person who discovered North America and it was this I reacted on.

Sorry, only meant to say Northmen arrived here long before Columbus was thought to have.
EuroAsians now known as American Indians crossed the land bridge in the west some 16,000 years ago and the Vikings reached our shores by ship from the east 1,000 years ago. We’ve been a melting pot of people ever since.
For some reason though it was said the Vikings left the area abruptly. I think it was when those Acadians moved in the neighborhood.
