I like the liberal attitude of these answers but unfortunately they are all somewhat incorrect.
There were three major migrations of peoples from Asia to the western hemisphere.
The first was about 40,000 years ago - these people are the ancestors of most indigenous people of the Western Hemisphere.
About 10-12,000 years ago, the ancestors of the Navajo [Dine'], Apache, and British Columbian first nation people came over.
About 2,00 years ago, the ancestors of the Inuit came over.
There are marked differences genetically in the three groups, but otherwise they are all Asian ancestry.
Since mapping of the human genomes, it has become apparent that the concept of "race" really doesn't mean much. The genetic differences between me [West European ancestry] and an African, or a Korean, are no more than between me and my 3d cousin.

No.. American Indian tribes are not different races. They are all descendants of ancient ice age man traveling from Europe and/or Asia. Example, there are many tribal populations in countries in Africa, so no matter what they call themselves they are all Africans.

All North American AND South American Indians are of the east Asian race. They came over from northeast Asia/Siberia about 10,000 years ago by way of the Bering strait land bridge during the last ice age.

No, they are all considered among themselves "The People," but not different races. Each tribe has their own culture, form of religion, and rituals.

No. They are considered different cultures of the same ethnic group. There is no such thing as "different races" in humans. We are all descendants of the same population of around 10 thousand individuals, the cro-magnon.

No. It would be dividing African tribes into different races.

Not by me. We're all one race - the human race.
