Do you still have any arguments why you believe that the American natives have always been in America?

Question

Their arguments are:
1. Why other tribes didn't follow?
2. Why the traffic didn't run both ways?

My answer is .....

1. They did and hHumanity didn't move in a big pack across the globe, nor did they spontaneously pop up everywhere. Some groups migrated, others didn't.

2. Because there was no people in the America
before the Natives came.

Do you still have any argument to refute the fact that the Natives came from Asia via Bering Strait?

Answer 1

if our scientist and anthropologist is right, all land mass was one and something happened to make it separate, into different continents?? if so that would be one explanation for the Indians being here or the other is across the Bering straigths , also it appears the vikins came her at one time
also there is such a thing as other societys being on earth prior to the present one, I tend to believe the later as that would also explain many unanswered questions about the pyrimids and so many other questions that can not be gone into here.

Answer 2

)Can't say for sure if they've always been here but a few years ago the Kennewith (sp?) Man was found around the Columbia River. He was decidedly NOT an Indian & the tribes had further investigation pretty much stopped. Whether the Indians were here 1st is irrelevant IF they crossed the Bering Land Bridge. This makes them NO more native than some Irish guy coming here in the 1800's. Just because you've lived here longer DOESN'T make a person a native.

Answer 3

Always is a long time. If you go back far enough, you get nothing but dinosaurs and other primitive life forms. Before that, the continent wasn't even in its current form.

As far as exactly how they got here, the evidence is less clear than when they got here. But when is much more important.

8,000-10,000 years is a pretty long time. That's proven by the fossil record. And certainly much more than 500 years.

Answer 4

wow. being part cherokee, I can only say native americans were always here. we come from the land. as our ancestors have taught us. we are connected to the earth and the wind and the water. all that we see is that which we came.

if you people want to trace your race back to the cavemen, knock yourself out. we're happy knowing our roots.
thanks to the settlers and their greedy, murderous offspring, very little Native American history exist anymore. enjoy what's left. thank you.

Answer 5

And, the Indians who were here when Whites came had been killing for centuries other Indians who would have lived and had the chance to enjoy the land.
