Why did Native Americans migrate to North America?

Answer 1

The Early People crossed the land bridge(called Beringia because when it melted it became known as the Bering Strait) from Asia to North America thousands of years ago because the mammoths migrated there and if the mammoths left and the Early People didn't they wouldn't have food to eat. They would need some meat other than all vegetables. If they wouldn't have followed the mammoths, the mammoths would still be alive today walking our streets and destroying everything in its path. Also we probably wouldn't be in America if they didn't.

Answer 2

In history archaeologists believe they had crossed a land bridge that was linked from South America to North America but over the years it disappered because it was the end of the ice age. I hoped i helped you very well.

Answer 3

Native Americans were from Asia, back then there was a land bridge between Asia and North America, the land bridge was made from grass and usually was covered with buffalo, the native americans chose to follow them ending up in North America. So apparently they just followed the buffalo's.

Another answer:

There are many theories as to how the Natives of North America arrived here, one of the more popular ones is the "land bridge" theory. As for the reason(s) it could have been a migration for food sources; however the Lenape have some of the oldest verbal histories of any tribe (they are generally known as the first tribe) - and these stories tell of the migration through snow and ice. Part of this story was that they were searching for the home of the sun (loosely translated), the east (home of the sun, sunrise) plays a significant roll in most Native American religions. It should also be noted that they migrated to the east coast of North America and settled there.

Answer 4

Native Americans are FROM North America. Other ppl came here. Answer 2 At about the same time that Christ walked the earth, people began to thouroughly populate the southern tier that make up the states of what is now the US. Prior to that time, human beings occuppied areas further South and further North. There are varying theories about how these homosapiens came to occupy these regions. One theory , is that the area between Alaska and Northern Siberia was solid and there was no water to cross, so people simply walked across. I am uncertain how people came to South America. It may have something to do with the Ice Age. It would have been one of the warmest places on earth at that time. You wanted to know "WHY" people migrated to North America. I think it is part of the human condition. We all have the wonder bug in varying degrees. Perhaps it was simple curiousity. Perhaps they followed migration of their food North. At any rate, the beginning of people coming to North America began before Christ was born and has continued ever since then.
