Alaska Native Peoples
The
Experts agree that America was discovered by Siberian hunters, ancestors of most
of the present-day Native Americans, who were following Ice Age mammals into
Alaska. These migrants came over the Bering Land Bridge, about 1,600 km (1,000
mi) wide, when ice sheets locked up much of the earth’s water supply and lowered
the sea level. Genetic evidence suggests that several waves of migrants came
across the land bridge.
When the ice receded, the sea level rose until
Alaska and Siberia were again separated by the Bering Sea. The earliest
artifacts yet found in Alaska date from about 12,000 years ago, toward the end
of the Ice Age. The forerunners of the Eskimo culture apparently came about
6,000 years ago.
