What did the norsemen call the local Indians?

The Norsemen, particularly those from the Viking Age, referred to the local Indigenous peoples they encountered in North America as "Skraelings." This term was used by the Norse explorers, such as those led by Leif Erikson, to describe the Indigenous groups in areas like Vinland, which is believed to be part of present-day Canada. The term often carried connotations of unfamiliarity and was used in a somewhat derogatory sense.
