The Bering Strait theory is the theory on how the first humans made it into the Americas. According to that theory, Native Americans descended from an Asian population who crossed the Bering Strait, the area between modern day Asian Russia and Alaska, by a land bridge of ice. These Asians then spread across the rest of the Americas.

The Bering Strait theory is viewed as offensive to many Natives, as many of their religions frequently state that they have always been in the Americas. It conflicts with their religious beliefs in the same way the theory of evolution conflicts with Abrahamic religions. In addition, they fear that people would see them as non-Natives because of this. However, judging by that logic, Europeans would not be native to Europe, when they are.
