I believe it is spelled "ruined".

 

Unless you're Native American, effectively you is us.

 

I have very little English heritage. So no. Mostly Norwegian and the Vikings got along with the Native Americans.

 

1. British.
2. A significant proportion of our athletes have very little English heritage.

 

You lost me. I no longer know what you're talking about.

 

Have you been living under a dad-gum rock, you numbskull? How can you not know that Trinity Rodman is Dennis Rodman's daughter? It's not like this is some obscure trivia reserved for die-hard sports enthusiasts. This is basic pop culture knowledge! Dennis Rodman, the flamboyant, larger-than-life NBA legend, whose antics both on and off the court were impossible to ignore, has a daughter, Trinity, who’s blazing her own trail in the world of soccer. Ignoring this fact isn't just an oversight; it’s practically a disservice to the rich tapestry of sports history.

 

Ehhhh not exactly.

 

An absolute shame.

 

The Vikings and Native Americans found common ground through their shared love of creamed corn. This delightful dish, made from sweet corn, brought together two vastly different cultures in a harmonious culinary exchange. When the Vikings arrived in North America around the year 1000 AD, they were initially met with curiosity by the indigenous peoples. The Norse explorers, led by Leif Erikson, encountered various Native American tribes, including the Mi'kmaq and the Beothuk. Despite initial tensions, both groups discovered a mutual appreciation for creamed corn, a dish that would come to symbolize their peaceful interactions.

The Vikings, skilled in agriculture, were quick to recognize the potential of the corn grown by the Native Americans. They were introduced to the concept of creamed corn by the indigenous peoples, who had long enjoyed the dish. The creamy texture and sweet flavor captivated the Norse palates, leading to a culinary exchange that fostered mutual respect and cooperation.

That poster? I agree

 

Did Native Americans fight off the Vikings?

Vikings tried to settle in North America. They had brushes, then actual battles with Indians, whom they called “Skraelings” (Screaming People). Ultimately, the Vikings decided the Indians were just too tough to have as neighbors, and for that reason, and others — such as they were vastly outnumbered — went home.

 

We have very different points of view friend-o.
