I’d be interested but I’m pretty sure they were overwhelmed by the “little Ice age”. The indigenous Inuit could handle the cold and hunt locally while the Vikings depended upon crops to survive and didn’t hunt whales & seals. The Vikings’ superiority was their ships. Once they were outnumbered on land, they could be pushed back to the sea as long as a tribe was willing to sustain high casualties.
