native americans
If you are looking at American and Canadian history books, you will be told that all of the native population came across a land bridge through Alaska. One linguistic study found something different: the Nootka natives of British Columbia have the word "shul" in their language and it means the same as in Hebrew (and is the origin of the word "school"). A large number of people from the tribes of Israel moved east with a number in China. When China attacked Japan in 1274 and again in 1281 and the Japanese were rescued by the "kamikaze" or "divine wind", the wind blew the Chinese ships past Japan and across the Pacific. Some of the seamen on board would have been Jewish, so Judaism existed in British Columbia in the thirteenth century. The residents of Western Samoa do not look Polynesian and legend has it the Israelite tribe of Naphtali moved east until they settled there.
If you were educated in Mexico or any country in Central or South America, you would have been taught that their population was made up of Polynesians who arrived by sea, intentionally or not, and set up settlements in the New World. Certainly, many of the people look Polynesian or Oriental or a mixture of south Asian (from India) and oriental.
There are other stories that say the birthplace of mankind was what is now Arizona and the native population is truly native - they never arrived from anywhere else.
Then you have the Mandan tribe, the blue-eyed Indians of the Dakotas. Actually, they may be descendants of Leif Ericsson and his crew of Norwegians that landed in the new World. There were Norse and Basque settlements in Newfoundland a millennium ago and there may have been some intermarriage with local native populations.
Then there are the Ainu, the blue-eyed native of northern Japan who were also probably Vikings.
Don't mine me, ancient migrations are interesting and they tend to defy orthodox thinking in history books.
