There is evidence and testimony for the statements below:
.
The Vikings were in North America 1,000 years ago.
.
The Vikings in North America called themselves “Lenape.”
.
The Lenape were still in western Minnesota in 1362.
.
The Lenape, Shawnee, and 23 other kindred tribes still live in North America.
.
That evidence and testimony is shown by the links of LENAPE EPIC TABLE of CONTENTS, including my biography, and a 185 item selected bibliography.
.
The Vikings in the year 1,000 were in western Minnesota because the key link of Viking Waterway was there. The Viking Waterway enabled heavy boats to move from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
.
The Vikings were the 11th century version of the UPS service to the people in the Mississippi basin. The era is called the Mississippi culture. Scroll down on the pdf file in the link to the Adena+ Hopewell+Mississippi image. The black dots trace the Viking settlements.

.
Shortly after the year 1,000, the Vikings in America became Christian. Then they called themselves "LENAPE." Eight groups of Lenape still live in New Jersey, New York, Ottawa, and Oklahoma.
.
Norway King Harald Hardrada and his fleet of about 300 ships stayed over the 1063-64 winter in Wynland of West. They may have made the return trip to Norway via the Mississippi and the Gulf Steam. During the time in Wynland, one of the Vikings lost his sword near Ulen Minnesota.
.
About 1130, a survivor of that expedition carved upon his tomb stone in Norway a stanza that said he was "Out" (to sea) "and good (sailing) and God Bless" in "Vinland" he found a " secret treasure" (perhaps the Christian concepts) which no officer could take from him.

The Lenape were the grandfather tribe to the Shawnee and 23 other American tribes. Most of the tribes, who the French called Algonquin, based on theit language, were really Lenape. They occupied an area from the Rocky Mountains to the Atlantic Coast, from Hudson Bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
.
This was the area of the Mississippi Basin plus the East Coast of North America. Most of the area is connected by waterways. Lenape descendants still tell of the time when the blond haired men with blue eyes came in their big boats. These men were the friendly light skinned people of the fourth fire of the Seven Fires Prophecy, which was known by many American tribes.

.
Vatican testimony indicates that the Lenape in western Minnesota in the 12th century were significant, but isolated, enough that the Pope allowed them to marry within 3 decrees relationship instead of the required 6 degrees of relationships.
.
The Lenape wrote a history. The first stanza, created in 1350, has the "Lenape" name in it. The stanza describes Greenland houses with heavy sod roofs.
.
When the Lenape in Greenland walked across the ice to America, Norway King Magnus wrote a letter in 1354 commanding Paul Knutson to go the rescue of the Greenland people. The letter is posted online in the Diplomatarium Norvegicum (volumes I-XXI).
.
Search for LENAPE LAND > TABLE of CONTENTS > NO ONE TURNED BACK.
.
You will see the stanza that tells us that the Greenland Lenape said "NO" to the rescue. They were headed to the fine land in western Minnesota.
.
When you hit on "BOAT WRECK" you will see that Paul Knutson died in a boat wreck. His broken sword, ax, and fire steel are on display at the Lake Nipigon museum.
.
When you hit on "TOPICS" > "TEN MATES DEAD." you will see a stanza with a similar message that is punched into stone in the Kensington Rune Stone, which is dated 1362.
.
The Lenape history goes on for 193 more years. The history tells of growing corn and droughts. Many times the Lenape came to the rescue of devastated peoples in the Ohio valley. In stanza 5.10 the Lenape and the Southern Lenape, called Shawnee, divided. Shawnee went south by many waterways.
.
But to many Vikings-Lenape-Shawnee, the Ohio area was always considered home. When the Anglos with guns became over powering they returned to Ohio.

.
The Shawnee defended the southern tribes during the De Soto invasion. They helped defeat De Soto. The Shawnee witnessed the Norway Ship of 1472. The Shawnee and Lenape welcomed the English at Jamestown but were not able to turn back the English during the five years war of extermination.
.
The Lenape women, forced into slavery, were the laborers that enabled the English colonies to raise tobacco. The Lenape women bore the English bastards, which were called De la Warr's children.
Those English-Lenape bastards made their their significant contribution to North America. They shared their name with the Delaware River and State. Their descendants won recognition as scouts in the Federal Army in the Civil War.

.
The Lenape traded Manhattan to the Dutch for protection from the Mohawks. The Dutch massacred the Lenape--twice.
.
.
When the English slave trade out of South Carolina was flourishing the Shawnee returned to defend the villages of the south.
.
The Lenape started the principles of government by council. See stanza MANALTING. The Iroquois learned government by counsel from the Lenape. The United States learned government by council from Iroquois. So a major contribution of the Lenape was government by council.
.
Meanwhile the Lenape taught Roger Williams the principles of Government by council, freedom of Speech, and freedom of religion. He took those principles to England in 1643. In the next year he secured a charter for Rhode Island that had those principles written into the charter. A century later those Lenape principles were in the Constitution and the first amendment of the Bill of Rights.
.
A Lenape, Talamend III, agreed to share land with William Penn when the New England Puritans were hanging Quakers. The Lenape and the Quakers lived side by side in peace for 40 years.
.
The Lenape and Shawnee believed in peaceful conflict resolution. But the European nations brought their warfare culture to America The Lenape fought against the English because the Lenape had made treaties with the French first. They stopped the most powerful English Military expedition yet assembled to that time.
.
Most of the Lenape honored their treaties with the English but tried to remain neutral during the first world war, a.k.a the French and Indians War. When the French lost the war, many of the Shawnee joined Pontiac's Rebellion, which failed a year later. They defended their home lands during Dunmore's war by stopping the Virginia Militia invasion at the battle of Mount Pleasant. The Shawnee leader was Cornstalk.
.
After the Revolutionary war the Shawnee fought the invading U. S, Army--twice! On November 3, 1791, the army of a confederation of Indian tribes, led by Blue Jacket and Miami Chief Little Turtle, defeated an American expedition led by Arthur St. Clair, governor of the Northwest Territory.
.
The Shawnee fought the U.S. Army at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. After that Battle most of the Shawnee bands signed the Treaty of Greenville a year later, in which large parts of their homeland were turned over to the United States.
.
On March 8, 1782 approximately ninety-six Lenape Indians were brutally massacred at Gardenhutten by local militia from western Pennsylvania.
.
Then, in 1811, the Leader Tecumseh nearly organized a North American Shawnee opposition, but the American Army defeated the Shawnee in the Battle of Tippecanoe.
.
Several hundred Missouri Shawnee left the United States in 1815 together with some Lenape people and settled in Texas, which was at that time controlled by Spain. This tribe became known as the Absentee Shawnee.
.
When the Lenape were driven west of the Mississippi in 1820, some stayed in their churches in New Jersey and New York. During this episode a desperate a Lenape historian passed a set of the pictorial reminders for the oldest American history to Dr. Ward, an U.S. Army doctor in Indiana.
.
The Lenape have always been sensitive to the plight of devastated peoples, including the slaves in the south. Lenape high school and Cherokee high school in New Jersey are the result of that concern,
.
Most of the "Indian" names for places along the Atlantic coast and in the Mississippi basin are Lenape names: from Savannah Georgia to Quebec Ontario and from Wilmington, Delaware to Shawnee, Oklahoma. Sixteen states have Lenape names. Three provinces in Canada have Lenape names.
.
So the evidence and testimony shows that the Vikings-Lenape-Shawnee made a very significant impact on North America.
.
By what ever name you choose to use, the VIKINGS-LENAPE-SHAWNEE deserve to have written text in history books that gives an accurate account of past events for future generations to learn.

The Viking-Lenape-Shawnee history needs advocates to make that happen.

Are you one?
