“The Thule people were predecessors of the Inupiat and are believed to have migrated eastward from northern Alaska about 800 years ago.”
Does that make the Thule the same group that eventually ejected diplaced the Medieval Norse from Greenland?
:^) I think the Vikings gave up Greenland because the first ships they'd seen in years arrived, and they quick rounded up everyone, piled aboard, and got out of there. That would have been my move, other than never having gone there in the first place. I've got PaleoEaskimo genes, but they're drowned out by my hot climate loving genes.
