Scotia, New Brunswick, and
Ontario, followed the same
eastern Canadian waterways and
fertile landscapes as the failed
Norse colonies of Vinland,
Markland, and Helluland.
Luckily, there is a renewed
interest, both historical and
archeological, in Montréal
to locate the “lost” site of
the Cartier-visited village of
Hochelaga. Maybe this new
analysis by Donald Wiedman
will convince Québec
historians to take a close look
at the possibility that the
Vikings “discovered” not only
Newfoundland, but much of
eastern Canada, all the way up
the river to Montréal.
There are a few blog entries
by Donald on the website
www.lavalha l la lu jah .com
that I encourage historians,
amateur and professional, to
take a close look at: “Saga of
Tykir the Southerner maps up
Laval’s Riviere des Prairies
to Lake of Two Mountains”
(February 19, 2018); “Vinland:
Upriver from Quebec City to
Laval” (December 16, 2017);
“Montreal’s lost village of
Hochelaga found … in St.
Francois, Laval (September
24, 2017); and “Vinland Saga
maps the sailing route from
Newfoundland, up the St.
Lawrence River, to Quebec
City” (December 25, 2016).
