About the First Americans
The first Americans embarked on a remarkable journey across millennia, tracing their origins to Eurasia and venturing into the uncharted territories of the Americas. This epic migration took place over a land bridge known as Beringia, which once connected present-day Alaska and Siberia during the last Ice Age. These intrepid pioneers, ancestors of today's Native Americans, likely began their migration around 20,000 to 15,000 years ago. As they crossed the icy expanse of Beringia, they brought with them a rich tapestry of knowledge and adaptability that enabled them to thrive in diverse environments, ultimately giving rise to the astonishing cultural and linguistic diversity seen among Indigenous peoples across the Americas. Their journey was a testament to human ingenuity and resilience, shaping the history and heritage of the continents they came to call home.
