Is there any significant historical evidence of mass genocide among seafaring cultures of the north?
It's kind of racist to assume that Vikings "wiped out" a bunch of people simply because there is evidence that they were present in a certain place. "Viking" as a term has its origin in an expedition of some sort, whether to trade or colonize.

Most cultures along the Western Atlantic seaboard have long oral traditions and solid historical evidence of devastating Viking raids. >...whether to trade or colonize. You forgot rape, pillage, burn, and slaughter. Then write songs about it afterwards.
