Sweden claimed a very small part of North America. New Sweden by the Delaware-river was the only mainland colony (1638--1655), it was a small area at the mouth of the river. Two islands was also under Swedish rule, Saint-Barthélemy (1785-1878) and Guadeloupe (1813-1814). Only Saint-Barthélemy out of the three proved to be a sound investment economically.

Why was some archaeological research into prehistoric America controversial?
By referring to prehistoric America I presume that you mean all the countries that make up North America. For the record, the entire continent of North America makes up America and that everyone living in North America is an American. There has been some recent and controversial evidence as to who may have been the first people in North America. North American Indians like to claim that they were the first nations in North America and they are forever trying to use this to their maximum advantage. Should it be proven that they were not the first then the proverbial carpet would be pulled out from under their feet. North American Indians strongly oppose any research or evidence that may prove them as having not been here first. For a start, the validity of their treaties could then be questioned and there could likely to be many other consequences.

What is the largest night skiing area in America?
The answer depends on what definition of 'America' you use and on how you measure it. Different resorts claim the title, but based on what definitions and measurements? If 'America' means the USA, then Mt. Hood Skibowl in Oregon claims the title 'America's Largest Night Ski area' on its website based on its 34+ trails on 550 acres (but does that mean all 550+ acres are actually skiable?). If 'America' means North America, then two ski resorts in the province of Quebec make slightly different claims: - Ski Bromont: claims Largest Lit Skiable area in North America. As of the 2012/2013 season, it has 87 lighted ski runs + 15 glades. - Stoneham: Claims Largest Night Skiing area in Canada. 19 runs covering 184 acres.
