Vancouver, BC Full Circle: First
Contact Vikings and Skraelings in
Newfoundland and Labrador
Once considered to be legend,
Viking contact with the Aboriginal
peoples (Skraelings) of North
America is proven through the evi-
dence uncovered at l’Anse aux
Meadows in Newfoundland. Full
Circle: First Contact chronicles
humankind’s exodus from Africa
and into the New World. Some
would turn left and some would
turn right, but they would meet one
hundred thousand years later on
the east coast of Canada.
With more than 250 artifacts,
photos, scale models, artist's
impressions and maps, Full Circle:
First Contact shakes our previous
understanding of our past.
