Did you know that when the Vikings arrived in Greenland, there were no Inuit there? They'd died out. However, a new immigration began after 1000.
Also, it was warmer then than now. So maybe callin g it Greenland wasn't so dishonest.
Later, the Vikes were wiped out by a mini ice age. Starting around 1400 according to Norse Wikipedia, but 1550(-1850) according to German Wikiped. Which doesn't seem to agree with the Norse and English articles, believing that there werte Inuit there of the Dorset culture. (Named after Cape Dorset on Baffin Island, now in Nunavut, Canada.) The Dorset Kultur is said to be inferior to the current Inuit Kultur.
