| Petike's often described the story as a "semi-robinsonade", because though the medieval European sailors are stranded in an unfamiliar land with unfamiliar native peoples, they aren't confined to the wilderness and their own devices throughout the story. Quite the opposite. The native North America of the 15th century is also depicted as quite densely settled in many places, with the more untamed wilderness being further inland or in places that prove too difficult for human habitation and economic activities. | Petike's often described the story as a "semi-robinsonade", because though the medieval European sailors are stranded in an unfamiliar land with unfamiliar native peoples, they aren't confined to the wilderness and their own devices throughout the story.
