∙ 13y agoThere are two answers to this question.
The first is each tribe or Indian Nation has their own Creation Story which describes how they came to be and how the arrived at the traditional homeland. Most modern historians, ethno-historians tend to discount these stories as myths and have no credence.
The disbelief of the Native population Creation Stories lead to the second explanation which is accepted by most Euro-Americans. Their explanation is during the last Ice Age, the Wisconsin Ice Age, about 40,000 years ago, the amount of ocean encased in the ice lowered the oceans exposed a land bridge between the Asia land mass and the North American land mass (Russia to Alaska on the Aleutian Island Chain). The ocean level was decreased nearly 400 - 500 feet from its current level. This allowed Asian Nomads to cross from Asia to North America.
