On this day, August 18, 2025, I claim the Nation of Greenland. My ex-wife descends from Erik Thorvaldsen who founded Greenland. I would like to see the Nation of Czechoslovakia and Greenland sign a Peace Pact, and promote World Bohemianism. Free Spirited Creative Souls can pay $5 dollars a month, and become honorary citizens. We will elect Ambassadors, and hold Bohemian Art Fairs.
What I see is a United Bohemia and a Exodus back to American Roots. I see the Elbe River Corridor, that joins Greenland and Bohemia (the Czech Republica) Greenland will be the
PORT OF BOHEMIA
Iwill now show you the incredible Cultural Culture that cill invited Bohemian Brother’s and Sisters to live along the Elbe and in Greenland and Bohemia. No neo-Confederates allowed! There will be trading with the Blue States. I bid Governor Newsom to consider California being a Bohemian State of Mind.

Erik Thorvaldsson[a] (c. 950 – c. 1003), known as Erik the Red, was a Norse explorer, described in medieval and Icelandic saga sources as having founded the first European settlement in Greenland. Erik most likely earned the epithet “the Red” due to the color of his hair and beard.[1][2] According to Icelandic sagas, Erik was born in the Jæren district of Rogaland, Norway, as the son of Thorvald Asvaldsson; to which Thorvald would later be banished from Norway, and would sail west to Iceland with Erik and his family.[3] During Erik’s life in Iceland, he married Þjódhild Jorundsdottir and would have four children, with one of Erik’s sons being the well-known Icelandic explorer Leif Erikson.[4][5] Around the year of 982, Erik was exiled from Iceland for three years, during which time he explored Greenland, eventually culminating in his founding of the first successful European settlement on the island. Erik would later die there around 1003 CE during a winter epidemic.[6]
Personal life
Early life
Erik Thorvaldsson was born in Rogaland, Norway in 950 CE, and was the son of Thorvald Asvaldsson (also spelled Osvaldsson).[3] Thorvald would later be banished from Norway for committing acts of manslaughter.[7] Thorvald would then proceed to sail west from Norway with his family, including a 10-year-old Erik. Thorvald and his family would eventually settle in Hornstrandir in northwestern Iceland, where Thorvald would eventually die sometime before 970 CE.[3][8][9]
Marriage and family
After his father’s death, Erik married Þjódhild Jorundsdottir and moved to Haukadalr (Hawksdale) where he built a farm called Eiríksstaðir; Þjódhild was the daughter of Jorundur Ulfsson and Þorbjorg Gilsdottir.[7] Medieval Icelandic tradition relates that Erik and his wife Þjódhild had at least three children: three sons, the explorer Leif Erikson, Thorvald and Thorstein. Sources differ on Erik’s daughter, Freydís, with The Saga of the Greenlanders describing her as a full sister to Leif, but The Saga of Erik the Red describing her as his half-sister.[4][10] Unlike his son Leif and his wife Þjóðhildur, who became Christians, Erik remained a follower of Norse paganism. While Erik’s wife took heartily to Christianity, even commissioning Greenland’s first church, Erik greatly disliked it and stuck to his Norse gods—which, the sagas relate, led Þjódhild to withhold intercourse from her husband.[11][10]
The river rolls through Dresden and finally, beyond Meissen, enters on its long journey across the North German Plain passing along the former western border of East Germany, touching Torgau, Wittenberg, Dessau, Magdeburg, Wittenberge, and Hamburg on the way, and taking on the waters of the Mulde and Saale from the west, and those of the Schwarze Elster, Havel and Elde from the east. In its northern section both banks of the Elbe are characterised by flat, very fertile marshlands (Elbe Marshes), former flood plains of the Elbe now diked.
