During the time of the Vikings there were no American settlers yet. The Vikings were the settlers. The native red men were the Americans. At first relations were friendly, but then the natives attcked. It is theorized that the natives became very sick from dairy products; milk and cheese, traded with the Vikings, because they were not used to it. The natives, assuming they had been victims of a poisoning attempt, attacked repeatedly. The Vikings resisted fiercely and repelled the attacks each time, but they were eventually convinced to pack up and sail home.
