This creative thesis examines and explores the point of first-contact on Turtle Island: the Eastern Coast of what is now known as Canada, now named Newfoundland and Labrador, through a braided poetry/prose narrative of three different cultures and times. The Vikings landed near L’Anse-Aux-Meadows in the early 1000‘s, the Beothuks were last seen in the 18th century, and today’s cod fishery has been on a moratorium since the late 1980‘s/early 1990‘s. An assortment of the few recorded Beothuk words which have survived are also incorporated into the manuscript. ***Because this is a creative work, only the preliminary pages are available on the internet. The manuscript itself, and all publication rights, remains in the possession of the author.***
