Visit Vinland Developing a New and Innovative Tourism Product in Atlantic Canada by Deciphering Ancient Icelandic Sagas Master Thesis submitted in fulfillment of the Degree Master of Business Administration in Tourism and Hotel Development Submitted to Dr. Helmut Zolles Sveinn Rúnar Traustason 1302003 Sogndal, Norway May 29, 2017 1 AFFIDAVIT I hereby affirm that this Master’s Thesis represents my own written work and that I have used no sources and aids other than those indicated. All passages quoted from publications or paraphrased from these sources are properly cited and attributed. The thesis was not submitted in the same or in a substantially similar version, not even partially, to another examination board and was not published elsewhere. Date Signature ABSTRACT Visit Vinland is a name invented for the purpose of this thesis for a new proposed association aimed at developing and marketing Atlantic Canada to Nordic people, people of Nordic descent and anyone interested in Viking explorations and the Vinland Sagas. Visit Vinland would provide a unique focus on North America prior to the European settlements in the 16th Century allowing visitors to experience the life and culture of the First Nation peoples before the Europeans arrived and learn about their first encounter with Norse “Viking” explorers and settlers, Basque fishermen and English, French and Italian explorers. The main purpose of the thesis is to establish a guideline on scientific grounds, directed to a so far virtual tourism entity named Visit Vinland, which aims at increasing tourism between the Nordic Countries and Atlantic Canada. Although independent, Visit Vinland would work under the umbrella of the “Atlantic Canada Tourism Partnership” (ACTP), and “Destination Canada” (DC), in cooperation with already established associations and councils such as the Mi´kmaq Grand Council “Santé Mawiómi”, the “Viking Trail Tourism Association” (VTTA) in Newfoundland, the “Aboriginal Tourism Association of Canada” (ATAC), the “American Indian Alaska Native Tourism Association” (AIANTA), the “Saga Trail Association” in Iceland, and the International “Destination Viking Association” (DVA). “Secondary objectives include research based proposals how to develop and market tourism products that provide visitors to Atlantic Canada with an exceptional and inspiring experience, taking them on a journey of exploration and imagination, combining Native American and Viking history and heritage with French Acadian, Celtic and modern day Canadian cuisine and culture. This includes the main subject of this thesis “The Vinland-Mi’kma’ki Trail” that will take visitors through some of the most beautiful and pristine coastal landscapes in North America, to stunning locations off the beaten track, with ancient history and oral traditions. The name of the Trail derives from (A) Vinland, the name that the Norse "Viking" explorer Leif Eiriksson gave to the region in 1000 AD, and (B) Mi’kma’ki, the Mi’kmaq Nation’s name for the same region, their homeland, that included Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, PEI and the Gaspé Peninsula. Newfoundland, with the Norse archaeological site at L'Anse aux Meadows, is also part of the Vinland region and the "gateway" to Vinland. The Vinland-Mi’kma’ki Trail is designed to connect with existing trails such as the Viking Trail, and the Cabot Trail, providing exceptional scenery as well as an array of human activity, rich with culture and the culinary arts, giving visitors the chance to discover various places where Viking sagas and Aboriginal stories come to life. With a bit of research and development the Vinland- Mi´kma´ki Trail will provide a unique insight into the Viking explorations to Mi’kma’ki, North America, 1000 years ago as well as into the life and culture of the Mi'kmaq people who had lived on this land for thousands of years prior to the Norsemen's arrival. 3 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my supervisor Dr. Helmut Zolles for his skillful guidance, supervision and encouragement and my wife Marcela Cerón, my Editor-In-Chief, for all her enormous help and patience through the whole thesis writing period. I could not have done this without her. I would also like to thank Andre Myers in Newfoundland and Rögnvaldur Guðmundsson in Iceland and all those who contributed to the thesis by answering questions and providing invaluable information and advice.

  • The History of Ancient Vinland
    This compilation © Phoenix E-Books UK THE HISTORY OF ANCIENT VINLAND BY THORMOD TORFASON. Translated from the Latin of 1705 by PROF. CHARLES G. HERBERMANN, PH D., LL. D., WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JOHN GILMARY SHEA. NEW YORK: JOHN G. SHEA, 1891. INTRODUCTION. The work of Torfaeus, a learned Icelander, which is here presented was the first book in which the story of the discovery of Vinland by the Northmen was made known to general readers. After the appearance of his work, the subject slumbered, until Rafn in this century attempted to fix the position of the Vinland of Northern accounts. Since that time scholars have been divided. Our leading his torians, George Bancroft, Hildreth, Winsor, Elliott, Palfrey, regard voyages by the Norsemen southward from Greenland as highly probable, but treat the sagas as of no historical value, and the attempt to trace the route of the voyages, and fix the localities of places mentioned, as idle, with such vague indications as these early accounts, committed to writing long after the events described, can possibly afford. Toulmin Smith, Beamish, Reeves and others accepted the Norseman story as authentic, and Dr. B. F. De Costa, Hors- ford and Baxter are now the prominent advocates and adherents of belief in the general accuracy of the Vinland narratives. As early as 1073 Adam of Bremen spoke of Vinland, a country where grape vines grew wild, and in 1671 Montanus, followed in 1702 by Campanius, the chronicler of New Swe den, alluded to its discovery. Peringskjold in 1697 published some of the sagas and thus brought the question more defin before scholars but a in itively ; Torfaeus, man well versed the history of his native island, in the book here given col lected from the priestly and monastic writings all that was accessible in his day.

Permanent link to this version: http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-410929 Henrik Williams II: 62 North American Perspectives – Suggested Runic Monuments 1 Introduction The most renowned runestone in the world is not found in Denmark, Norway, or Sweden, the runic heartland with over 95% of all the inscriptions. The most famous (some would say infamous) runic monument is, in fact, the Kensing­ ton stone from western Minnesota (cf. Williams 2012) (see fig. 1). It was claimed to have been found in the roots of a tree by the Swedish­American farmer Olof Ohman (Swedish Öhman) in the fall of 1898. It soon made the news and became intensely discussed among scholars as well as laymen. Almost all of the former have consistently declared the inscription to be modern, whereas a substantial number of non­academics implicitly believe that the monument is medieval. The inscription on the Kensington stone is quite sensational. It reads in translation: Eight Götalanders and 22 Northmen on (this?) exploration/acquisition journey from Vinland westwards(?): We had a camp by two huts(?) one day’s journey north from this stone.

  • Close Reading: Leif Eriksson
    Name: ___________________________________________ Exploring the Oceans Date: __________________________ Period: ___________ Marine Science Close Reading: Leif Eriksson The Viking Explorer Who Beat Columbus to America http://www.history.com/news/the-viking-explorer-who-beat-columbus-to-america As Columbus Day approaches, the United States commemorates the explorer credited with the first European expedition to North America—Leif Eriksson. Nearly 500 years before the birth of Christopher Columbus, a band of European sailors left their homeland behind in search of a new world. Their high-prowed Viking ship sliced through the cobalt waters of the Atlantic Ocean as winds billowed the boat’s enormous single sail. After traversing unfa- miliar waters, the Norsemen aboard the wooden ship spied a new land, dropped anchor and went ashore. Half a millennium before Columbus “discovered” America, those Viking feet may have been the first European ones to ever have touched North American soil. Exploration was a family business for the expedition’s leader, Leif Eriksson (variations of his last name include Erickson, Ericson, Erikson, Ericsson and Eiriksson). His father, Erik the Red, founded the first European settlement of Greenland after being expelled from Iceland around A.D. 985 for killing a neighbor. (Erik the Red’s father, himself, had been banished from Norway for committing manslaughter.) Eriksson, who is believed to have been born in Iceland around A.D. 970, spent his formative years in desolate Greenland. Around A.D. 1000, Eriksson sailed east to his ancestral homeland of Norway. There, King Olaf I Tryggvason converted him to Christianity and charged him with proselytizing the religion to the pagan settlers of Greenland.

Boston : Doyle & Whittle. It must be confessed that Americans, those I of us at least who lire to the southward of (he | Canadian line, know but little of the great tri angular island that lies off the Gulf of St. Law- I rence. To its own inhabitants, indeed, it is in some decree an unknown land, for its interior | can hardly be said as yet to have been thorough ly explored, and there are solitudes among I the lakes and rivers of its remote wilderness that have probably never yet been seen by the eye of civilized man. Its nigged and pictur esque coast is touched only at widely separated points by passcngrr steamers, and but one short railway line has as yet penetrated the forests or disturbed the silence of the rocky fastnesses with its noisy evidence of civilization. Vet these in hospitable shores were early visited by mission aries from the Mother Church, and the opening | of the sixteenth century saw the symbol of the Christian religion reared at several points along the coast. Dr. Howley has been engaged in collecting material for the present history during the greater part of his life, having at an early age developed a taste for accumulating notes bearing upon the history of Newfoundland. The actual work of preparation, however, has occupied rather moie than a year. The learned author has had only one predecessor in the field, the kt Rev.

The Committee is composed of representatives of the Department of Regional Economic Expansion, Environment Canada and Transport Canada, and of the Department of the Environment, Department of Development and Department of Municipal Affairs of the Province of Nova Scotia. The Strait of Canso Environment Committee has as its first objective the development of an environmental management strategy proposal for the Strait of Canso area. Regional environmental assessment and environmental management programs must necessarily be based upon a comprehensive and integrated knowledge of the physical, social and economic resource base ofthe region. Toward this end, the Committee arranged for an initial program, funded under a Federal-Provincial agreement, comprising an inventory of existing information on the natural environment of the Strait of Canso region. The inventory of natural resources and resource uses commenced the summer of 1974, leading to the presentation of the information in a series of special maps and accompanying reports for publication and distribution in late 1975 and early 1976.
