how did native americans get to america?

Question

did native americans come from boats?ships?or what did they came from

Answer 1

They were created here. They didn't get here. People will give you a load of crock about the Land Bridge Theory but that is false. The Land Bridge Theory says that Natives migrated across a land bridge from Asia to Africa and then spread out into the U.S. Well this is just another form of scientific racism. There is more evidence against the land bridge theory than for it. Scientists, scholars, and common citizens today believe in the theory on blind faith.

I'm a Native woman by the way.

Answer 2

The Bering Strait theory has not been proved, and as stated by another, many Native Americans Creation beliefs are passed down to them from their family/tribe. Another, is that some linguists believe there is not enough time for all Native American tribes to cross the strait, divide, spread across the continent and develop languages diverse as today.
Seriously, even if people have been in a place for 12,000 years(+-), don't you think that's enough time for land ownership, considering its only been a few hundred years since non-Indians came in contact with Native Americans and took the majority of the land from the tribes.
If you want to know where Native Americans come from, research a tribe, talk to tribal members, and learn about their culture. Better yet, take a course in Native American Indian studies, that should answer questions you may have about Native Americans. Peace.

Answer 3

The "Native Americans" began arriving in North America 12000years ago. Most came from the the area of Siberia over a land bridge or crossed through the areas around the Bearing Straits. The Americas were populated from a migration from the north heading southward. Somewhere around 300BC - 800 AD the climate became far colder and the waters rose making this crossing far more difficult and it basically stopped. But between 12000 to 8000 years ago this was very much possible, the seas were lower and just as the mammoths crossed so did the people that hunted the mammoths.
So in fact there really are no people native to the Americas, all human life on earth traces it's history back to the Mesopotamia.

Answer 4

Native Americans got to America by the Siberian Land Bridge. During the last Ice Age when all the water froze, a large tract of land connecting Siberia with Alaska was exposed. Asian hunters followed herds of animals across the land bridge for hundreds of years and were left isolated in America when the Ice Age ended and the water levels rose again.

Answer 5

During the ice age, there was a bridge of ice connecting northern Europe to North America (the Bering straight was a glacier at the time). The Native Americans and Canada's First Nations people crossed it looking for a new homeland.

Answer 6

All accounts are theory developed by men to secure control of all that believe in or don't believe or understand that life began as is told by all races on this planet. Believe this, just as Christians believe in their beginning other people's believe in their beginning. This is a big world and Creator is bigger and his followers follow him as they learned too.
If you believe in Creator you would know that all races on this planet hold their time of creation as sacred. And all spiritual or religious people seek in their way, without Creator one has no foundation.
The Indigenous people of this land were here by the grace of Creator not by a theorized walk across a land bridge.

Answer 7

Good question, but they wouldn't be "Native" Americans if they came from somewhere else. I don't think anyone will ever know for sure. There are many therioes. Good luck!

Answer 8

They walked from asia and Europe across the artic ice to north america.

Answer 9

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, there was a land bridge across the Bering Strait.

Answer 10

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, they crossed over from Asia across the Bering Strait and migrated down and spread throughout the continent.
