The Leif Erikson International Foundation (LEIF) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to honoring Scandinavian heritage and promoting cultural connections between Scandinavians and Americans. Established to commemorate the legacy of Leif Erikson, the first recorded European to set foot in America, LEIF supports initiatives that celebrate the contributions of Scandinavian immigrants to the United States.
One of LEIF's notable projects is the Leif Erikson statue located at Shilshole Marina in Seattle, which serves as a tribute to the immigrant experience. Originally unveiled during the Seattle World's Fair in 1962, the statue has been enhanced with a granite base displaying the names of over 2,351 immigrants, reflecting the rich history and cultural significance of the Scandinavian American community.
