THE LENAPE HISTORY
OF AMERICA,
AD 1000 TO  1363
.
The Brothers
The poor, lonely, but tough men
became hunters and left
 those living in strong houses.
.
WHY did they become HUNTERS and LEAVE?
.
WHAT do the THREE PRONGS on each head mean?
.

.
VANG:The oldest son inherited the farm and everything to the farm, then was also in a position where he could marry the best girl in the region. 
.
Why did they become Hunters and Leave?
.
VANG: After some generations there were no more land to occupy. So they had to move and find something for living.  So they became hunters and had to move to find the best hunting places.
.
MYRON: I agree. in Nordic culture the oldest son got the farm, the house, and the most capable woman in the region.  The younger brothers had to leave home and earn a living by themselves.  In Greenland and North America, the only way to stay alive was to hunt somewhere away from the farm.
.
What do the three prongs on each head mean?
.
VANG: The prongs show religion “Father, Son and Holy Ghost” and the only religion in this area at that time were Catholics. 
.
MYRON:  RIGHT. The prongs on the heads signify religion.  These hunters are wearing the “Father, Son, and Holy Ghost hair-dos.  There were Catholics..

.
Separated from home
like breasts on the same body
the hunters became tougher
extremely good and
they reached for the sky.
.
An icon that looks similar exists in Europe. 
.
VANG:The Scandinavians god was THOR with the hammer and lightning.
.
What is the name of the European icon? 
.
VANGTHOR.
.
MYRON:  CorrectThe name of the European Icon isTHOR.
.
What does the European icon hold? 
.
VANG:A hammer.
.
MYRON: THOR
 held a lighting bolt and a hammer.
.
The Scandinavians were the metal workers of Northern Europe.
. They lived in a region (Europe) plagued with “war and rumors of war.  Hence the lightning and the thunder.”
.
Why the arrow and the paddle? 
.
VANG:They were moving by paddling around and hunting.
.
MYRON: In North America the brothers survived by paddling along rivers and up streams.  They could get to any and almost all spots, which lay a day’s walk from water.
.
The arrow was the “credit card” enabling the bothers to get food when they needed to eat.
.
Where did the hunters go? 
.
VANG:The hunters ventured everywhere. They went to the east shores of Greenland. They went north along the west coast of Greenland. They went west by boat to what they called Marrike land and went up and down on the east coast of Marrike land.
.
MYR0N:The hunters camped in
KENNEbec, Maine, [Wide stream] &
KENNEwick, Washington
[Wide valley]
.
[Look at that!  The Norse,  whom the English of the 17th centuary wanted us to believe NEVER were in North America, left their name ["wick = vik'] in the state of Washington."
.
and
.
Winnipeg , Canada  & 
[Smelly bay]
Winnemucca, Nevada
[Smelly muck]
.
What did the hunters leave behind?
.
They left a  lot of place NAMES behind.
.
Nearly every state has dozens of Norse place names.
.
They NAMED
16 states and 
three providences 
in Canada.
.
They named CANADA, 
the Potomac river where Washinton D.C. sits, and, maybe, ALASKA.

With the exception of Louisiana,  fhey named ALL of the states on both sides of the MISSISSIPPI
 and the MISSOURI Rivers.
.
They named most of the rivers in the Mississippi basin.
.
Their names were the original names of the Great Lakes.
. "(On the shores of Ghitchie Gummy, the big sea water ...)"
. What did the hunters leave behind? 
.
VANG:The homebuilder they have to stay, because the livestock needed daily care.
.
Myron:  They left names and a language behind.
.
The languagge is Old Norse.
.
The English tried to cover up the source of the language by calling it "Delaware," then "Indian," and then "Algonquin."
