Indian Summer

We know now that Christopher Columbus was actually among the 'last' of the world's competitive explorers to reach the Americas, not the first. In late summer early autumn of the tenth century, five hundred years before Columbus, a daring band of Vikings led by Leif Eriksson were the real first white explorers to set foot on North American soil and established a settlement. Viking raiders were known and feared throughout the world for centuries. Imagine the shock and awe felt by the American Indians when they first set eyes on what might have seemed like white devils invading where they had lived for more than twenty thousand years. This same apocolyptic experience would repeat itself 500 years later when white European Explorers came along to lay claim to this new land on behalf of their royal benefactors. Talk about history repeating itself. How about this. A stylizd story told through film or video game from the sole perspective of the American Indian and what it may have been like to first lay eyes on these white skinned devils, hear their strange language spoken, and experience their real intent for having come to this new land. eddyEd
