They all group around the year A.D. 1000. It was about the year 1000, that Leif Eriksen and other Noreemen, according to Icelandic Sagas, eailed frorn Greenland to America and built houses there. During the years I have got valuable assistance from Canadians and thig has been of great lmportance for the succesg of the expedition. I wieh to mention membera of the Government of Newfoundland and particularly Premier Smallwood, the Memorial University, St. Johnrs, and its president, Dr. Gushue, At the federat level the Department of Northern Affairs and National Resourcee has earned rny gratitude, both through assistance from the National Museum of Canada and the detailed mappfung of the site by the Natlonal Parks Branch" So too, have the Royal Canadian Navy and the Royal Carradian Air Force for their assistance in trangportation and air photographe. I am also indebted to the Grenfell Mission, the Canadian Embassy in Oslo, and the Arctic Institute of North America for their asslstance and advice, I am very happy that the Governrnent rnade an hietoric site of the discovery and has buildings to protect the site for the future.
