I have never believed that all N. American Natives arrived via a land bridge over the Berring. Its all theory until the next discovery.

My grandmother was Native from the Washington coast (Chinook). My grandfather was Dutch/Indonesian. This seemed an unlikely combination until my grandmother explained that the Chinook had been doing trade with Indonesia long before the white man arrived. She also told me that there had always been red-hair within the tribe. I have no reason to doubt her words.

I am quite sure that trade in the Pacific was extensive. China knew about otter pelts and used them for regalia. We have so many clues but so far, nobody knows for sure. I, for one, am very curious about this so-called Kennewick man and any others that are found.
