Following them were the Grosswater people, the Dorset people, and a group called the Proto-Innu, who were the ancestors of the now-extinct Newfoundland Beothuk.

Phoebe SmithHOST

Fog, to these people, was the breath of an old god who lived to the eastward, just beneath the rim of the sea, and fire was a spirit, the offspring of a god, that sometimes was content to feed on the faggots cut for it, cooking food for men and warming their bodies, and sometimes leaped into the woods and consumed the forest for miles in an outburst of fury.

Barry EadsNARRATOR

A man of the Beothuk race named Run All Day had a lodge on the River of Three Fires, about halfway between its mouth and the Wind Lake.

Slipping into the central tumult of the battle, he crouched beneath a spruce tree and peered about for the flying enemy as a hunter looks out of cover for homing geese.

Barry EadsNARRATOR

30:46

Suddenly he saw the terrible one flash down upon the struggling warriors, saw him strike once and twice and leap into the air again.

Barry EadsNARRATOR

30:55

With lessened speed he drew near the spruce tree under which the Beothuk chief crouched ready.

Barry EadsNARRATOR

So the prevailing theory among archaeologists isn't that a Viking longship pulled up to the coast of Maine.

speaker_5HOST

The theory is that Native Americans trading in the far north, perhaps the ancestors of the Innu or Beothuk people, who we know interacted directly with the Norse settlements in Newfoundland, acquired this strange, shiny piece of metal.
