The consul of Iceland in Venezuela told me that Iceland does not has aborigens, but I really think that it can't be posibblly.. I mean... every country most have aborigens.. don't they?
If you know the name of an Icelandic aborigen (or ancient or indegeous) population -if they are really there- please write it down in your answer.
This is for a project, so sooner you have it, hapier I'll be.
Hahaha, thanks!
Have a great day!

No, Iceland doesn't have aborigines. The first records of people in Iceland are of Norse explorers who discovered Iceland in the ninth century and settled down there. I've heard that there were possibly some Irish monks in a tiny part of Iceland shortly before that or at a similar time as the Norse, but that has never been confirmed and those monks would not count as aborigines anyway.
