Newfoundland's first settlement (at least by Europeans) was the viking village at what is now L'anse aux meadows on Newfoundland's west coast, so this video is factually inaccurate. If you want to talk about when indigenous peoples started settling on the island, it's even earlier.
The Vikings did spend time at L'anse aux meadows as they explored the world; however, when I speak of European settlement, I am referring to settlement that has lasted to the present day. Good point you make, though. Thank you for watching.
Not a word about the Beothuk people?!! Cancel culture is not a new thing! White men have been ignoring or ‘cancelling’ indigenous presence and contributions for centuries… still doing it in this day and age! I will look at the further chapters with an open mind…. but I am not hopeful.
It sounds like NewFoundland was a tough row for all, especially for the Beothuk after the Brit's began settling. Being a Beothuk then was much like being a Palestinian in Palestine today, which suggests strongly that crass and murderous racist behaviour was and remains the motivating factor of so many pompous-minded nations including Israel and it's primary supporter the United States, which had laws meant to irradicate every last Indigenous person across that land. It's all just so much of the same sad history repeating itself in front of us again and again..
Thank you so much for this video!

Yeah, I already made this argument and all I got was a "technically.." and a "thanks for watching."
