Hi Ghorka, amusing story!
One thing--Vikings landed in the new world in the 900s AD. The natives had stone axes, stone tipped spears and arrows. The 'TOMAHAWKS' as you refer to them did not exist yet. The Americans wanted the metal weapons (think of the arms race!) the Vikings had, and the vikings wer quite interested in the stone axe heads because they had a legend associated with the stone axe heads (which involved Storm-go Thor and "thunderstones")
Also, the Francisca (Frankish axe) is much the dimensions of the modern 'hawk, and other viking axes from finds are much the dimensions of a tomahawk.
For other accfepted accounts of the meeting of Scandinavian and American, you might read:
The Vinland Sagas by Snorri Sturlsson
Vikings: The North Atlantic Saga by Smithsonian.
There's some interesting stuff about the meetings and dealings between these two magnificent cultures.
Czech out this webpage about the Micmaq culture an their histories deal with the coming of the Norse...
