Over the years, there has been a lot of talk about who may or may not have “discovered” the New World. It has been argued that “discovery” may be the wrong term for Christopher Columbus’ arrival, since there were people already living on the land that was new to Columbus and his crew. We called them Indians because Columbus named them after the land he thought he’d found. Today we know them as Native Americans because they were native to this as yet unnamed land. And lately it has been widely televised that the Vikings may have been here long before Columbus.
