Vinland

Vinland (ヴィンランド), also known as Epekwitk (エペクウィトゥク) by the Lnu, is an area on the northeast coast of North America, south of Markland, and discovered by Leif Ericson in 1000, who named for its alleged abundance of grapevines. Its native people are the Lnu or Mi'kmaq, called skrælings by the Norse, and who are ancestors of the Native Americans. In 1022, Thorfinn and his crew settled here in an attempt to create a peaceful land without war or slaves, and built Arnheid Village close to Gitpi's tribe.

Although the exact historical location is unknown, Vinland in Vinland Saga is specifically located along the modern-day Gulf of St. Lawrence, based on the map in Chapter 180, while the island Thorfinn and his group eventually settles is explicitly the modern-day Prince Edward Island, and the bay they enter appears based on a small harbour near North Rustico. This is confirmed in the afterword of Volume 26, where, in the translation notes, Makoto Yukimura states that "[The Mi'kmaq] traditional lands cover all of Epekwitk (also known as Prince Edward Island, where Thorfinn's settlement is located)".
