Answer:

Norse explorers

Explanation:

Norse explorers were the first Europeans we know of to have made contact with the New World. In the late 10th century AD, Norse explorers settled areas of the North Atlantic. Some remains of their settlements can be found in Newfoundland. They also settled Greenland for roughly 500 years. However, Norse colonization appears to have been limited in scope and did not leave a lasting legacy in the culture or history of the people of the Americas.
