It is most commonly believed that the vikings led by Leif Erickson's father were the first to establish a settlement there but, history also tells us that the Vikings failed to maintain the community during the little ice age because they didn't learn to adapt the way the Inuits did. Kind of leads me to believe that the Inuits were there first.
