Before Columbus, did "new world" peoples have any written/oral history which referenced the "old world"?

Obviously, the peoples who populated the Americas originated from the Old World in some way or another. Did any of that get passed down? Was there any sort of awareness that they had crossed onto a different continent?

Probably related - are there any oral traditions among indigenous peoples referring to the Viking settlement either in the New World or Greenland?

There's always room for discussion, but perhaps the section Travel and contact across the Atlantic before Columbus from our FAQ will answer your inquiry.
