HAPPY LEIF ERIKSON DAY! On this date in 1000, Leif Erikson discovered "Vinland", possibly L'Anse Aux meadow in Canada, reputedly making him the first European to set foot in the New World. TVアニメ「ヴィンランド・サガ」/「VINLAND SAGA」Official

This year's Canadian Thanksgiving has also fallen on Leif Erikson Day, a holiday that's honestly more known for "SpongeBob" referencing it than anything else. GIF ALT

Since it isn’t talked about, today is also Leif Erikson Day! Who is Leif Erikson? Leif Erikson, a Norse explorer, discovered North America around the year 1000 AD, nearly 500 years before Christopher Columbus. Yes, that is a statue of Erikson on Minnesota Capitol Grounds (1/2)

Happy Leif Erikson Day, North Americans. "Leif Erikson Day is an annual observance that occurs on October 9. It honors Leif Erikson, the Norse explorer who, in approximately 1000, led the first Europeans believed to have set foot on continental North America."

Happy #IndigenousPeoplesDay. The School District of Waukesha has decided to celebrate fearless Viking Leif Erikson.

Replying to @MattWalshBlog Columbus also shouldn't be celebrated as he didn't actually discover North America. Leif Erikson did like 400 years prior.
