  6. Inland Route • What Happened? • Nomads migrated following the big game across the Land bridge through the treeless Ice Corridor into the North American Great Plains

  7. Inland Route Inland Route • When Did it Happen? 12,00 - 15,000 years ago

  8. Inland Route • Who were they? • Nomads Hunter and Gathers Some 11,500 years ago one of America's earliest families laid the remains of a 3-year-old child to rest in their home in what is now Alaska. The discovery of that burial is shedding new light on the life and times of the early settlers who crossed from Asia to the New World,

  9. Inland Route • Where did they come from? • Asia

  10. Inland Route • How did they get here? • Walked following the Big Game Animals The Archaeology News Network: 25,000 year-old human footprints found in Mexico.

  11. Inland Route • Why did they come? • Followed the big game looking for food.

  12. Inland Route • Problems with this theory? • Archeological site dating back as far as 35,000 years ago indicates people arrived before the land bridge opened up.

  13. Coastal Route • What Happened? • People migrated from Village to Village moving along the Asian coast into the North America Continent

  14. Coastal Route • Who were they? • Fisherman with Marine Skills

  15. Coastal Route • Where did they come from? • Asia

  16. Coastal Route • How did they get here? • By boat and by foot village to village

  17. Coastal Route • Why did they come? • Looking for better fishing grounds • Tribes split and groups looking for new location home • This migration is generational (take 100 to thousands of years to reach the Americas)

  18. Coastal Route • Problem? • Because of Global warming the Ice sheet melt resulting in sea level rise the coast with all the evidence is submerged under the waves.

  19. Sea Route • What Happened? • People moved from Island to Island • Island Hopping

  20. Sea Route • When did it Happen? • 35,000 years ago ??????

  21. Sea Route • Who were they? • Islanders/ Polynesians Replicas of traditional Hawaiian huts along with original rock walls and platforms dot Lapakahi State Historical Park
