The common myth has been spoken by scholars in the last 100 years. They claim that Native American tribes migrated across the Bering Strait from Asia. The frozen ice caps stopped travel even by animals between 26,000 to 10,000 years ago. Natives were said to have walked the Bering Strait 12,000 to 10,000 years ago. Northwest Indian tribes claim that their "oral" traditions reach back 10,000 years. A human skull was found along the Columbia river in 1996 that goes back nearly 9,000 years. The river is the border between Washington and Oregon states.
That skull belongs to the "Kennewick Man" or as northwest tribes call him, "The Ancient One." His skeletal remains were buried last Feb. 17, 2017 in an undisclosed area near the Columbia river. Scientists won a lawsuit to study the remains and at first claimed the male as "White" or "Caucasian" (Caucasoid). Northwest tribes claimed him as their ancestor. It has taken 20 years and specific DNA tests prove him to be of Native American tribal descent.
The controversy rages on about who occupied America first. Scientific proof shows us that the "Ancient One" was here 9,000 years ago and he's Native American and/or Indigenous. His skull is the oldest human to be found in the history of North America.
