PART 7: HELLULAND, MARKLAND, AND VINLAND


3F.5 THE WILD GRAPES OF VINLAND.
Lastly, we come to the grapes that have caused so much trouble and dispute in the eastern context. Here once again "Occam's Razor" cuts straight and true, for it proves quite unnecessary to consider any and all other interpretations or locations for the wild grapes in question. In fact, the inclusion of "grapes" in the Sagas reinforces the suggestion that Vinland is indeed best understood in terms of a unique ecological niche such as that under discussion here. The choice is again precise, as is the location. Thus, to localize matters even further, the following quotation with its emphasis on the town of Duncan at the mouth of the Cowichan Valley:

BERBERIS AQUIFOLIUM Pursh.
The genus name is derived from the Arabic 'berberys', applied to one or more species of the Mediterranean Coast ... This fine plant is outstanding, not only for size, leaves, and fruit, but also for its quantities of beautiful yellow flowers and for a delicious honey-like fragrance. Moreover, when we realize that the fruit yields a refreshing grape-like juice (when mixed with sugar) and an excellent jelly, it becomes apparent that it ranks high among our native plants.... Tall Mahonia ... occasionally reaches a height of 10 feet (near Duncan, Vancouver Island). It must take pride of place as one of our most attractive shrubs.... ' Oregon Grape ', of course, refers to the handsome clusters of dark-blue berries that are dusted with a pale powder or bloom."... "It is well-known now as the state flower of Oregon."
 (Lewis J. Clark, WILD FLOWERS OF THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST, Harbour Books, Madeira Park 1998:172-173, emphases supplied).

As for the grapes in the Sagas, James Robert Enterline wrote in VIKING AMERICA (1972):

In the Saga of Eirik the Red, after Thorhall the Hunter went off by himself, some writers have inferred that he found grapes and ate of them, becoming intoxicated, for he was discovered on a steep crag where:
" he lay gazing up into the air with wide-open mouth and nostrils, scratching and pincing himself and muttering something ."
The corresponding situation in the Tale of the Greenlander occurs when Tyrkir the German, after being lost in the woods and subsequently discovered by Leif and his men, is described thus:
"First he spoke for a long time in German, and rolled his eyes many ways and twisted his mouth, but they could not make out what he said. After a while he said in Norse: ' I did not go much farther, and yet I have a discovery to tell of; I have found vines and wild grapes.' "(James Robert Enterline, VIKING AMERICA, DoubleDay, Garden City, 1972:38)
Enterline rejects the "possibility of instantaneous fermentation on the vine needed to produce such supposed intoxication", and few would argue with this assessment. But what of the effects of eating too many of the wild grapes that grow in the Cowichan Valley, the suggested West Coast location for Vinland under discussion? Here Pojar and Mackinnon (1994) note that: "The tart, purple berries of both Oregon-grapes were eaten, but generally not in quantity." Why not in quantity? Perhaps the following provides the answer to both this question and the apparent "intoxication" in the Sagas:
The bark is bright yellow inside, due to an alkaloid, berberine. The shredded bark of the stems and roots was used to make a bright-yellow dye for basket materials. The bark and berries were also used medicinally for liver, gall-bladder and eye problems. One Saanich woman noted that eating the berries in quantity was the only antidote known for shellfish poisoning. Great caution was used, because this drug is very potent.
(Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast, Compiled and Edited by Jim Pojar and Andy MacKinnon, Lone Pine Publishing, Redmond, 1994:95; emphases added).

Oregon grape and barberry plants, including the fruits, contain the alkaloid drug, berberine, used in medicine as an astringent for treating inflammation of the mucous membranes. This compound is potentially toxic if taken in large does, and therefore it is recommended that you eat these fruits and foods made from them with moderation and do not consume them as a regular part of your diet.
 (Nancy J.Turner, Adam F.Szczawinski. Edible Wild Fruits and Nuts of Canada. National Museum of Canada, Ottawa, 1979:39-40
)

Many people are very fond of a tart Oregon Grape jelly as a condiment to use with meats. I've never cared much for it. When my mother made it, years ago, we kids dubbed it "quinine jelly", and we rolled on the floor in simulated agony!  Maybe Mom didn't have the right recipe. Still other people are devotees of Oregon Grape wine. I've made it myself, and I've tasted that made by others. Its big drawback is a pronounced earthy taste that takes at least a year or more to age out.  (J. E. Underhill, Wild Berries of the Pacific Northwest, Hancock House, Saanichton, 1974: 68-69)

Lastly, there remains one one loose (and indeterminate) end concerning Mahonia aquifolium itself.  According to Pojar and McKinnon (Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast, 1994:95), "Oregon Grape" ranges from Southern coastal British Columbia to Central Oregon. More precisely, it is found in the south-east corner of Vancouver Island as already noted, and also on the lower British Columbia mainland as far north as Powell River; further south in Washington State, and finally in Oregon. How Oregon Grape came to flourish in one particular corner of Vancouver Island and this section on the coastal mainland of North America is an ecological question that is likely lost in the mists of time. And, it must also be stated, it is also unlikely that it would have anything to do with historical periods, especially those as recent as the time of the Sagas. Nevertheless, for partial "completeness" at least, there remains a loose (if not redundant) thread in the Sagas that combines grapes, vines and also Viking ships, i.e., after Tyrkir the Southerner found the "wild grapes and vines":
"Leif said to his crew: 'From now on we shall have two tasks to do and we shall alternate them so as to do each job every other day. We shall gather grapes, and we shall cut vines and fell timber, to make a cargo for my ship.' This was done. It is said that their pinnace was filled with grapes. A full cargo was cut for the ship, and in the spring they made ready and sailed away. Leif gave the country a name in accordance with its resources, and called it Vinland (Wineland)."  (Helge Ingstad, 1976:41-43; emphases supplied).
Remaining entirely with the Sagas and the limited number of Viking voyages allotted to this period, the above provides little more than a largely redundant explanation for the naming of "Vinland" itself.  As for the implication that attends the cutting and transportation of vines in this region, this too remains highly controversial. However, it at least permits differentiation between the tasks mentioned in the Sagas, and it may not be completely out of court if the favourable conditions of the Medieval Warm Period and the possibility of more frequent Viking contacts in the Pacific Northwest are taken into considerationAfter all, as discussed in earlier sections, there were -- at a conservative estimate -- two hundred years or more (i.e., 1050 -1250 CE) during which near-optimal conditions for shallow-draught Viking ships may well have prevailed along most (if not all) of the Passage.

3F.6 VINEYARDS OF THE COWICHAN VALLEY AND THE GULF ISLANDS
Wild grapes, however, do not necessarily mean wine per se. Then again, according to data complied by Pojar and MacKinnon (1994:95):

"The tart, purple berries of both Oregon-grapes were eaten, but generally not in quantity.
Often they were mixed with salal or some other sweeter fruit. Today they are used for jelly,
and some people make wine from them."

Vinland indeed, it would seem.... But in any case, because of its suitability, local wine from this region can in fact be purchased from a surprising number of wineries and vineyards now flourishing within ten miles or so from Duncan and Cowichan Bay. By way of an introduction, the VQA (Vinter's Quality Alliance) pamphlet on BRITISH COLUMBIA'S WINE COUNTRY (Region 1, Vancouver Island) states:

"Situated off the southwest coast of British Columbia, Vancouver Island is home to the newest wine-growing region.
Just an hour's drive from Victoria, rolling hillside vineyards hug country lanes that connect historic towns.
Most of the 20 Hectares of vineyards are planted near the town of Duncan."

THE COWICHAN LAKE EDUCATION CENTRE:
"One of the Cowichan Valley's best kept secret's is its passion for growing things in this special place with its special climate.
The wine growers of the Valley know how to turn the rivers and trout streams as well as clear clean lakes into a host of fine wines and ciders.
Guests can enjoy touring Vigneti Zanatta, Blue Grouse Vineyards, Venturi Schulze Vineyards, Cherry Point Vineyards and the Merridale Cidery."

The above was written in 1999. Now, only four years later, the number of wineries in the Duncan region has grown to twelve, as detailed in a lengthy article in an April 2003 issue of The Vancouver Sun newspaper.

   But first, remember Tyrkir the "Southerner", the discoverer of the Vinland grapes and the vines in the Sagas?--he who proclaimed:
 "I can report on something new: I have found vines and grapes.' 'Is that true, foster-father?' Leif said.
 'It is certainly true,' Tyrkir replied, 'for I was born where there is no lack of vines and grapes.' "
Well read on, for the article in question was introduced as follows: 

GLENORA – They told him it couldn't be done.  A vineyard on Vancouver Island?  Impossible. Too wet. Too cool. Too this, too that.  Agriculture experts. Neighbours. Skeptics. Dionisio (Dennis) Zanatta paid them no heed; he knew what he knew. He had grown up in northern Italy, after all. !,  Wasn't the climate similar there? Didn't they grow grapes, make wine?  “He knew that this is what they do back home,” says Loretta Zanatta, his daughter. “Why can't you do it here?”  No reason at all, as it turned out.

   Dennis Zanatta started growing grapes and making wine shortly after he  moved to the Cowichan Valley in the 1950s to run a dairy farm.  Later, he took part in a provincial government experiment to test new grape varieties on Vancouver Island in the 1980s.  And then, when provincial regulations finally changed, permitting small, two-hectare wineries, Zanatta set up a farm-gate operation here, seven kilometes southwest of Duncan. Vigneti Zanatta opened its doors to the public in 1992, and today boasts about 12 hectares in vines, a celebrated restaurant and a growing reputation for making fine champagne-style wines.
    It's a success story that has tilled the way for a wine-making boom on Vancouver Island and the Gulf  Islands, where there now are 17 licensed wineries and a cidery, five more wineries in development and plans to double the number of hectares in production from about 105 to more than about 202 over the next few years, according to figures provided by the Vancouver Island Vintners Association (VIVA).
The majority of the wineries – 12 of the 23 – are located here, in the Cowichan Valley, while the rest are scattered from Saanich to Nanaimo to Saltspring Island.
(
Lindsay Kines, “South island wine industry booms,” The Vancouver Sun, April 19, 2003, p.C1; emphases supplied)

By 2006 the more comprehensive Wine Islands Vinters Association replaced VIVA to embrace additional wineries on the adjacent Gulf Islands; current wineries in the immediate Duncan area are listed below in alphabetical order:

Averill Creek Vineyard: http://www.averillcreek.ca/ 
Blue Grouse Vineyards: http://www.bluegrousevineyards.com/
Cherry Point Vineyards: http://www.cherrypointvineyards.com/
Echo Valley Vineyards: http://www.echovalley-vineyards.com/

Rocky Creek Winery: http://www.rockycreekwinery.ca/
Venturi-Schulze Home:  http://www.venturischulze.com/
Vigneti Zanatta: http://www.zanatta.ca/
 
Though superceded by the Wine Islands Vinters Association, the following quotation is retained from the original VIVA Web pages because of its relevance to the central issue, i.e., the suitability of this special region for the growing of grapes:

Southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands
comprise the warmest growing region in Canada.
The Wine Islands have their origin in fiery volcanic
rock, and have been scoured by three ice ages.
But the ocean remained, warming the land and
creating microclimates which winemakers now
exploit for your pleasure.

This terroir is ideal to grow some of the world’s
best cool-climate grapes, and yields elegant,
aromatic wines reminiscent of northern Europe...
(http://www.islandwineries.ca/about.htm)

which in turn gives rise to resonant echoes of Homer's Odyssey and the "Elysian plain, which is at the ends of the world" where:
 "Oceanus breathes ever with a West wind that sings softly from the sea, and gives fresh life to all men..."
Thus here and in general it is hardly surprising that in 1976 Imbert Orchard used the title “Fortunate Islands" for his Aural History impressions of the early days on the Gulf Islands (Sound Heritage Program, Vol 5. No.4 Aural History, Provincial Archives of British Columbia, Victoria).  An exaggeration? Perhaps, but not necessarily. Those unacquainted with the region might reject the notion outright, but it seems likely that those more familiar with these warm and bountiful Islands would nevertheless affirm that they are about as close as anyone could hope to get.

But either way, it seems that the Vikings knew their business when it came to the suitability of this small region and its climate for growing grapes.
- It is Vinland now, it was Vinland then, and quite likely always was Fundit Vínland Góða (Vinland the Good).

POSTSCRIPT: THE CARVED SPINDLE WHORLS

It seems entirely appropriate to leave the present subject with spindle whorls carved by the Coast Salish of "Vinland" and the Pacific Northwest. The first example is described in Nancy J.Turner's PLANT TECHNOLOGY of the First Peoples of British Columbia, (UBC Press, Vancouver, 1998:131) as a "Coast Salish Spindle Whorl carved from Broad-leaved Maple. The faces in the centre are surrounded by four Mink." The accompanying photograph is shown below with the permission of the University of British Columbia Press.

Figure 4. The Coast Salish Spindle whorl

Spinning and weaving? Yes, of course, another link, another thread. This is after all the Cowichan Valley, now justly famous for its "Cowichan Sweaters." And the knitting needles? Originally made from the wood of the Vine Maple as noted earlier. But it always was the weaving, not the knitting, and in addition the one and the two-bar looms, the Dancing Capes and the Ceremonial Blankets--the warp and the weave of it all...

Thus visit Duncan, the Vineyards, and the Cowichan Native Village; learn the local legends, and, if it so pleases the reader, go there and gaze upon on "Vinland the Good," though it seems that the Vikings themselves have long since departed. Were they driven off, as the Sagas record? Or did they have their own agenda and further horizons in mind? And if so, where would they have gone next?
Who can really say. From Map 4 one might suggest south to California, and again on to Mexico perhaps. Then Central and South America? Or did they turn north and west again to Siberia, China and the Far East? Unlikely scenarios? Perhaps, but Iron Men in Wooden Ships who could navigate through the Northwest Passage could tackle anything and go anywhere, could they not?

    And The Last Viking?

Perhaps he lives on in all of us.... I would like to think so, anyway.


Finally, it seems re-assuring, fit and proper these days that the first Pacific Northwest Indian carvings that greet visitors arriving at Vancouver International Airport are by the modern Coast Salish themselves.
The Welcoming committee - a greater than life pair of figures - Male and Female in balance and harmony, and in addition, a softly spiraled spindle whorl full sixteen feet in diameter tenderly carved in cedar.

What else remains? Perhaps we will never know, but then again perhaps what was held in trust was merely a reaffirmation of something long acknowledged and always understood.

   Simply this:

Native wisdom tends to assign human beings enormous responsibility for sustaining harmonious relations within the whole natural world rather than granting them unbridled license to follow personal or economic whim ... Native wisdom sees spirit, however one defines that term, as dispersed throughout the cosmos or embodied in an inclusive, cosmos- sanctifying divine being. Spirit is not concentrated in a single, monotheistic Supreme Being ... Native spiritual and ecological knowledge has intrinsic value and worth, regardless of its resonances with or "confirmation" by modern Western scientific values. As most Native authorities would be quick to point out, it is quite capable of existing on its own merits and adapting itself over time to meet modern needs. For it is, after all, a proud, perceptive, and extraordinarily adaptive spiritual tradition, every bit as precious, irreplaceable, and worthy of respect as Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, and other great spiritual traditions. (Peter Knudtson and David Suzuki, Wisdom of the Elders, 1992)
