Joins us for theÌý: a conference onÌýThe Vikings in North America: an Indelible Trace

A Presentation by the historian Frédéric Belley.

This presentation also focuses on the exploration of Vineland, which raises many questions. In light of recent historical and archaeological research, we discover that thanks to their science, the Vikings have left more traces than we think in North America. In this presentation, you will have the opportunity to see how the study of history can be useful in practice in today's society.

Please arrive at 13h30 to reserve your ticket at the welcome desk.ÌýSpace in the auditorium is limited.

In French. This conference is not appropriate for children younger than 14 years old. Thank you for your understanding.

Rematriation, Repatriation and Restitution Statement

We acknowledge that the return and restitution of cultural and natural heritage to communities of origin is an essential part of reconciliation and of recognizing the fundamental rights of Indigenous Peoples. As part of wider efforts to activate the standards presented in the Canadian Museums Association Report Moved to Action: Activating UNDRIP in Canadian Museums (2022), the Redpath is working towards pro-active restitution practices.
