If you mean Who was Leif Ericsson, he was a viking from 1000ad. His father was Eric the Red, another famous explorer who discovered Greenland. Leif was born in Iceland. With some help from Bjarni Herjolfsso, Leif set sail and landed somewhere in Canada, most likely Labrador, or Newfondland. He named it Vinland (probably because of the vines), and left to go back to Greenland and tell the rest of the Vikings to come to Vinland. They did but the Vikings quickly died out.
