The OTL evidence on the relations between Norsemen who landed in North America and local Native American tribes is rather scarce, but there is some indication that there were all sorts of interactions between the two groups, some of them hostile (the fact in itself that Vinland and other settlements were not permanent has been attributed to hostile locals), some of it beneficial (description of trade with the natives, and the supposed finding of a 11th century Norwegian coin in present-day Maine), and even some evidence of mutual trans-Atlantic migration (80 present-day Icelanders are descended from one Native American woman, who it's believed was brought back to Iceland by the Norse explorers).

But beyond that, it's not too clear. But it's still a pretty important thing to speculate about: if the Norse had made permanent settlements in North America beginning in the 11th century and spread further into the continent, how would they have gotten along with most of the Native Americans in the long term? Would they be overall hostile or non-hostile? What sort of cultural and economic exchanges would take place, and what would be their results?
