Native Americans in Europe

What possible scenarios could there be for a Native American colony/population group in Europe?

The only thing I could think of at the moment would be Vikings maybe taking Amerindians as slaves to Iceland or maybe Inuit people moving from Greenland to Iceland.
 
The Daily Telegraph's old Peter Simple columns had a colony of Aztecs living outside the fictional Stretchford in the English Midlands who had come over the Atlantic in the Middle Ages in stone boats. :D
 
Have a native state survive somewhere, and its emigrants' national identity should be more Amerindian than Eurasian.

I'm thinking Crusader Kings Sunset Invasion now. Although that scenario is totally ASB. :)

Could a part of Spain get depopulated by plague/war/other nasty thing on a sufficient scale that the crown ships natives over to replace them?

Iceland abandoned during Little Ice Ages and later re-settled by Inuit ?


if Greenland count as Europe, this already happen.

Well, Crusader Kings II: Sunset Invasion is based upon the Aztecs invading from the West. I consider that a winner, despite all plausability. (Of course, it's not the most implausible thing I've seen outside of the ASB forum. If only in the sense that any obscure European wank within the last 600 years seems 'plausible', while anything that requires a pod before the early EU-Renaciance is deemed asb.
 
There actually are quite a few Inuit Greenlanders living in Denmark from what I understand.

There are also lines of Spanish nobility descended from the Aztecs and at least one descendant of Inca royalty who lived in Spain. It would probably not be too hard to get a community from some of the larger groups of Latin American indigenous people in Spain (like Quechua, Nahuatl, or Maya).

Getting a substantial community of North American natives in Europe is a bit harder because these groups are much smaller and you'd be hard-pressed to reinforce the population. Hundreds of Northeastern Native Americans were resettled on St. David's Island in Bermuda but their descendants intermarried and assimilated into the local population. If Metis count as Native Americans, you might be able to get a population of them in the UK or France...
 
I had a Topic about Mesoamerican "Mamluks" in europe. with several butterflies you could indeed have a Native Amercian warrior elite ruling a city in germany ;)
