Early American Ice Age

In 13,000 bc the first communities in the Americas were established and the first group of people that established tribes were the Paleo-Indians. At this point in time the Ice Age was coming to an end, but there were still huge animals that existed and were hunted by the Paleo-Indians. The tools that they used to hunt big animals like the woolly mammoth were long spears with a sharp end on it made out stone or

This land bridge was over 600 miles wide was present for thousands of years and that there was life here as it had its own flora and fauna. While the Bering Land Bridge Theory does not directly challenge Traditional Native American history, the Beringia Standstill Theory does. This theory implies that the Native Americans ancestors were not originally from North America. The idea is that the Native American’s ancestors originally were from Northeast Siberia. The Siberian people lived there for tens of thousands of years before the ice age, but after the ice age took effect the Siberian people began to abandon the region some going south towards the mainland while others went north away from the mainland. The split occurred roughly 23,000 years ago and the Siberia people who went North away from the mainland settled on the Bering Land Bridge. Because this land bridge known as Beringia had flora and fauna the living conditions here were suitable for settlement and so these people did so for over 5,000 years. Approximately 18,000 years ago, the Bering land Bridge began to melt and is believed to have completely melted away about 12,000 years ago. With the end of the ice age near the inhabitants of Beringia were forced to migrate as massive flooding began

At the end of the last Ice Age, sea levels lowered and created a land and ice mass between Siberia and Alaska. This 580,000 square mile land-ice mass was about twice the size of the state of Texas and was called

The northern tribes used bones and deer antlers to make knives, scrapers, awls, fishing tools, whistles, and pendants. The first tribes denpended on agriculture were those that lived on the Atlantic Costal Plain. They learned how to make pottery and cloth. The cloth was woven with thread made from soft layers of splint baskets. They made musical instruments like pipers, rattles, drums, nd they were played during ruitals and ceremonies dances. They built two types of houses, long houses, and wigwams. The first type was formed by bending poles into a cone or dome shape and by tying the poles together with vines. The frame was covered with woven mats, bark, or hide . These people grew corn, squash, beans, pumpkins, and tobacco.

First, sediment samples and animal remains from the Bering Sea prove that the Beringia was habitable at the height of the ice age or 21,000 years ago. According to Elias: “humans did not survive the last ice age’s peak in northeastern Siberia, and yet there is no evidence they had reached Alaska or the rest of the New World either” (Elias). At this point, Elias’s theorizes that people lived on the Beringia, a 600 mile wide area between Siberia, Russia, and Alaska. Furthermore, “sediment cores” (Elias), from the Bering sea indicate that the

During the Ice Age, the water froze into massive glaciers and exposed a land bridge that connected Eurasia and North America.

Hunter/Gatherers secured their own food supply and moved from place to place as needed to maintain it. They clothed themselves in the furs of animals that they had killed for food. They got the name, Stone Age, from tools made from stones.

The Ice Age allowed people to come the Americas through land bridges. a) Water levels were lower due to glaciers, revealing the land bridge that connects Eurasia to the Americas. b) When the Ice Age ended, the glaciers melted,

Before the arrival of the Europeans to the Americas, the Americas already had a large number of people living there in empires or hunting and gathering groups.

Bison was popular to hunt in the plains. During Paleolithic times, there were a few kills by a group of hunters. However, they soon grew to a large event where thousands of buffalo were killed by driving them over cliffs in the autumn so that there was enough meat to last the winter. During the summer and spring months, other animals and plants were eaten and utilized. Agriculture was not needed until much later on for the natives of North of America,

Indians arrived in America some 30,000 to 40,000 years ago. Archeological findings and Radiocarbon testing suggested that the prehistoric people who populated the Americas were hunters following the herds of wooly mammoths. They walked from Siberia across a land bridge into Alaska. They headed south toward warmer climates, slaughtering the mammoths as they went. As the glaciers melted, the oceans rose and covered this land bridge, creating the present-day Bering Strait and separating Alaska from Russia. By the time Christopher Columbus arrived, they were millions of what might be called First Americans or Amerindians occupying the two continents of Americas. The first noted documentation of the Beringia theory of the peopling of North America was by Jose de

Like this, in the beginning of the discovery, most of the Europeans looked for their benefit by selling the silver, slaves and other material items to Europeans. But as people started to settle in America, people attempted to cross the Atlantic ocean to seek for personal, religious or economic freedom and opportunities. The idea of better life condition and opportunities had also brought Native Americans from Asia. We do not know what kind of group of people came to America first, but most of scientists believe that a lot of them were from Asia who were looking for food and better conditions to live. We believe that they had crossed the land bridge call ‘Bering Land Bridge’ which was made by ice between Alaska and Siberia 2000 years ago(U.S. IMMIGRATION BEFORE 1965). The newcomers had been spread out over the continent for years and

The Ice Age froze most of the oceans into glaciers and the lowered sea levels uncovered a bridge connecting Eurasia and North America. Animals that migrated crossed this bridge and Asian hunters followed them into N.A.People kept coming in via the Bering land bridge for 250 years.

Before Christopher Columbus came and found the Americas. About 14,000 years ago there was a land bridge connected by Siberia and Alaska. But due to the last ice age water levels had been increasing. This led to the land bridge going under water. Now fast forward 14,000 years later Christopher Columbus had reached as what was known as the New World in 1492. When they discovered there were many native people on this land. Native American tribes were all over the place. Well two of the biggest tribes were the Incas and the Aztec people who each had over 25 million people in their tribe.

The Early Woodland people lived from 1000-300 BC and were a culture who primarily hunted and fished. However, plants became more important as they
