Possibly the Beothuk.
The first European fishermen called the Beothuk "The Red Indians," because they painted masks of ochre on their faces. But beyond rare glimpses through the forest, the two groups had little contact with one another.
The Beothuk, possibly having encountered violence from the Vikings centuries before, avoided the newly arrived Europeans by retreating from the coast. They crossed paths with the newcomers briefly, then moved inland, away from their ancestral fish camps built along the rocky shorelines.
