Port au Choix
With over 5,500 years of habitation, Port au Choix is a prime example of aboriginal settlement in Newfoundland and how these aboriginal groups changed over time. With archaeological finds from the Maritime Archaic Indians, Groswater Paleoeskimo, Dorset Paleoeskimo, and more recent native groups, Port au Choix offers a rich picture of Pre-Columbian North America. These groups, starting with the Maritime Archaic Indians at 5,500 years before present, lived on the rich shores of Port au Choix while surviving off of the animals that thrived in the area. More surprisingly, much of this habitation occurred in a geographically small area called Phillip’s Garden where for over 1,700 years Groswater and Dorset Paleoeskimo aboriginals lived and is not far from where locals still launch their boats today, a testament to the richness of the area. More recently Basque fishermen plied the waters around Port au Choix and in 1713 the French occupied the area as part of the French Shore, an era that lasted until 1904. Years of archaeological study have revealed a trove of artifacts ranging from everyday items such as spearheads and bone needles to exquisite religious artifacts, many of which are on display at the interpretation centre. In addition to this collection there are many opportunities to explore not only the site where these people lived but also the culture and ways of life that developed here over millenia of habitation. The Heritage Shop provides visitors an opportunity to take home hand-made replicas of the artifacts as well as quality gifts depicting endangered wildflowers from the region. The Port au Choix National Historic Site of Canada is set against the dramatic limestone barrens and bedrock which has preserved fossils for millions of years. It is an ancient place rich in history and its seas continue to sustain settlement and richness of life. Open seasonally, Port au Choix is a must see for any traveller on the Northern Peninsula.

Driving from L'Anse aux Meadows to St Barbe; 133km 2hrs

The Sagas written by the Norse in the 13th century tell the tale of Leif Eriksson finding a faraway land with lush fields and wild game inhabited by Skraelings (North American First Nations) around the year 1000 CE. Eriksson and his crew, after exploring this land and gathering a cargo of grapes and lumber, travelled back to Greenland to announce their discoveries and prepare for more expeditions. With promises of prosperity a small band of people led by Thorfinn Karlsefni landed in what is now known as L’Anse aux Meadows, building dwellings, workshops, a forge, and more. Using this outpost as a base, crews explored the surrounding areas and gathered materials for trade. Skraelings, the native inhabitants of the area, quickly became a problem as relations were increasingly hostile. While the Norse attempted to withstand the natives they were outnumbered, making continued settlement a dangerous prospect. After only a few years this outpost in North America failed and the Norse left L’Anse aux Meadows.
