Thanks. I’ve seen those websites - would be interesting to visit some day. Pretty out of the way though!
Below is a short (10 min) youtube about French explorer Jacques Cartier in the St. Lawrence seaway (1500’s). The indians told stories of white men that were fearsome and had gold and silver (but no bronze??) that lived to the north. In the area of Quebec City and Montreal.
The Indians also had the same story of a “cypod” - one legged men that would hop on one leg and had an oversized foot. The Viking story of Vineland also speaks of these one-legged men in Vineland!? In the Middle Ages the one-legged man was big in artwork and stories as well.
