WALRUS AND NARWHAL HUNTING
In 982 Erik the Red was made an outlaw in Iceland. This meant that anyone could kill him without facing punishment.
He therefore sailed to Greenland with 25 ships. Only 14 made it.
The Norse settled in southern Greenland. Here they lived for 500 years.
In the summer they went to Disko Bay to catch walrus and narwhals.
Why did Erik the Red go to Greenland?
How many ships did he start with – how many made it?
The Norse lived in southern Greenland but in the summer went to Disko Bay. Why?
Around 1200 the Inuit came to Greenland. They came from Canada.
They travelled along the coast and arrived at the Disko Bay. Here they met the Norse.
The picture shows two Norse people, a man and a woman. Make a drawing of an Inuit woman and an Inuit man.
