Members focus on developing and presenting the reconstructed culture and lifestyle of the Norse in Vinland.
While the major concentration is on the 10th Century, some events are set in the wider period from 790 to 1066, with the appropriate modifications to dress and equipment used.
The organization was renamed to The Vikings - Vinland in 2020 to better reflect the diverse North American membership of the group.
Activities include the Danish Canadian National Museum, The Calgary Highland Games and various other cultural and living history events throughout the continent, specific to each member group's local schedule.
member groups from the Canadian provinces of Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario petitioned the parent organization, the UK based 'The Vikings', to create an independent felag for these member groups, which was granted.
