The Vikings starved in Greenland because they tried to grow cattle and sheep didn’t they?
And refused to ask the Inuit how they’d been surviving all this time?

 @AccordionBruce honest question from someone from the other side of the Equator: how do the inuit do it? |
@AccordionBruce @sarahtaber
The Norse made it a few centuries on Greenland with their farming techniques from Iceland.
But yeah, the the climate shifted to Greenland being like today, and there's no sign of them adopting anything from the Inuit who lived to the north. Some contact must have existed, but no nothing learned, no intermarriages.
/have read up on it a few times since high school iut of interest.
