What happened when the Vikings and Beothuk and the Inuit met?
At first when the Vikings met the Beothuk and Inuit the Viking called them Skraelings. At the beginning the two groups were friendly. The Viking had brought cattle for meat and milk, and sheep for meat and wool. They traded with these Aboriginal people. However, when the Aboriginal people realized the Vikings were planning to stay, battles broke out between them.
Why do youi think the vikings did not try to colonize the Americas?
The agreed upon answer is that the natives were too fierce, and the environment was too difficult for the vikings. They were in constant conflict with the Skraelings and I think there were harsh winters(could be wrong about that part). Either way, it was difficult and long to bring vikings over and when they got there they had to gather food and fight an increasingly hostile native population. Not that easy or appetizing.

He returned to Greenland and became a great leader, or a leader with great stories. Eitherway he was a Chieftian in Greenland, the land his father discovered and settled, making the Vikings indigenous to lower Greenland. There is some reason to believe he was buried, along with his father and son in Greenland and that his bones are in storage in Denmark.

What trade routes did leif ericsson go on?
Yes but only for a short period. Many people followed him and recent digs show that they took fox furs from Baffin Island and almost certainly fish and logs from father down the coast of Canada. Did they trade with the Aboriginals? Not likely, at least not very much. The Vikings were violent, as were Aboriginals, in particular the Skraelings, who would later cleanse Greenland of Vikings. Trade would have been limited.

Why is Leif Erickson famous?
Leif the Lucky "discovered" North America around 1002AD. That lead to European Navigators knowing that there was land to the East, across the vast Atlantic Ocean and to Christopher Columbus "discovering" North America 500 years later.
