Yes . Although we do mention Eric the Red .

There is also an old tradition of a pre-Columbus North American tribe being able to speak Welsh , but this is nonsense . Similarly , in New Zealand , some people of European stock like to claim that the Celts were there before the Maori . This theory tends to be put forward by uneducated racists .

Concerning the Chinese , yes , it seems to be respectable historical fact that they got around far more than was hitherto believed .
