      The indigenous never count. Tasman discovered Tasmania. Cook discovered Tahiti. The Vikings (or Columbus if you like) discovered America.

      Although it doesn’t work the other way around for some reason. The Thule, ancestors of the modern Inuit in Greenland, got there after the Vikings. But somehow they didn’t discover it.
