I was proofing the links on the LENAPE LAN...Betty,<br /><br />I was proofing the links on the LENAPE LAND, blog when the word "OGIMA" caught my eye.<br /><br />There is an "OGIMA" in Wynland (VINLAND) of West. [Wynland of West was located in the Westen area of Becker County, MN.]<br /><br />Originally, "OGIMA" meant "High Man" in Old Norse. Americans tell us that "Ogima" means "Chief."<br /><br />"Wynland" means "Fine Land--land that is find smooth and cleared of trees. That those words describe Becker County, MN where another Viking Sword was found in 1911.<br /><br />The Lenape from Greenland were trying to get from James Bay to Wynland of West when Paul Knudson had a boat wreck near Beards mor. "Beards Mor" may have meant "Broken Norse" in Old Norse.LENAPE LANDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16737817275948542474noreply@blogger.com
