Webinar: Indigenous and Icelandic Interactions at the Edge of the Wilderness. Historian Hildur Sigurbergsdóttir discusses early encounters between Icelandic settlers in New Iceland and the Indigenous peoples who lived there long before 1900. Drawing on historical sources, she explores contact, coexistence, and misunderstandings that shaped both communities. The talk is part of the 150th anniversary of New Iceland and Minneota and reflects on how these meetings continue to influence Icelandic identity in North America.
