For hundreds of years scientists and historians have said that peopling of the Americas came over the Bering Land Bridge. I have never believed this. To me it is all theory and not solidified in common sense or in the Scriptures. Below is what the National Park Service of Alaska says.
“In today’s world, the peopling of the Americas is a hotly debated topic. Evidence for competing theories continues to change the ways we understand our prehistoric roots. While evidence of animal migration is more solidified, the human story may be more complicated. As of 2008, genetic findings suggest that a single population of modern humans migrated from southern Siberia toward the land mass known as the Bering Land Bridge as early as 30,000 years ago, and crossed over to the Americas by 16,500 years ago. Archaeological evidence shows that by 15,000 years ago, humans had made it south of the Canadian ice sheets.
While this may represent the earliest migration, it was not the only one. Once the first humans made it over, it appears that multiple migrations took place over the next several millennia, not only across the ice-free corridor, but also along the coast by boat. Evidence is still sparse and often conflicting however, some theories of the “first Americans” are still largely inconclusive.” Bering Land Bridge National Preserve Alaska
Learn from Scriptures
See what I mean? They don’t even believe in their theory. Facts are just unknown. Thankfully we have the Scriptures. If you have read 1 Nephi 13 you know that Columbus came here by ship. You know the Mulekites came here from Jerusalem by ship. The Lehites came here by boat from Oman to Florida. We know the Jaredites came by barges from the Old to the New world as well. Why don’t these intellectuals get off of the Bering Straight nonsense? Because they don’t like truth and they don’t like being wrong. We have truth in the scriptures and in prayer.
This article below was sent to me from our great friend Pam Stanfield of Ohio, which says a lot. Here we have an old debunked story that this Blackfoot Indian finds out he didn’t come from Siberia and the Land Bridge, but from the Pacific Islands? We believe the Islanders are descendants of Hagoth (Nephites) who left the USA and probably took a ship up Lake Michigan and around the north side to the Pacific Ocean, or Hagoth could have gone up Lake Michigan and out the Gulf of St Lawrence to the Atlantic and around the tip of South America. We still don’t have all the facts, but the land bridge makes no sense, even to the intellectuals of today.
We have found according to National Geographic, “Nearly one-third of Native American genes come from west Eurasian people linked to the Middle East and Europe, rather than entirely from East Asians as previously thought, according to a newly sequenced genome.” Source
“DNA from the remains revealed genes found today in western Eurasians in the Middle East and Europe, as well as other aspects unique to Native Americans, but no evidence of any relation to modern East Asians. (Related: “Is This Russian Landscape the Birthplace of Native Americans?”) Source
I also believe that Noah who landed in the Middle East and (Mt Ararat Turkey) had three sons who spread all over the world. The descendants of Ham settled in Africa, the descendant of Japeth settled in Asia and the descendants of Shem (The Line of the Priesthood) settled in the Middle East and Europe. The descendants of the Brother of Jared settled in the USA and many of them could have migrated to the Pacific Islands as well.
The scriptures will lead us to the truth not any theory of man.
Have you ever wondered about where you came from?
One Montana man did. Dusty Crawford, a member of the Blackfeet Indian tribe, had always been told his ancestors came from Siberia, across a landbridge.
However, his tribe members told a different story. “We’ve always been here, since time immemorial,” said Shelly Eli, an instructor at Blackfeet Community College. “There’s no oral stories that say we crossed a bridge or anything else.” Dusty sought his own answers.
Dusty Crawford traced his genetic timeline back 17,000 years—and found out he was 83% Native American.
DUSTY’S DNA DISCOVERY So Dusty took a CRI Ancestry Test at the urging of his late brother Willy, who passed away before Dusty could receive his results.
That’s a shame, because Dusty discovered something that would have shocked his late brother. With his CRI Genetics DNA test, Dusty was able to trace his ancestry back a whopping 17,000 years.
More surprising than that, he found that his North American ancestry was OLDER than the land bridge that once connected Siberia to Alaska—and that he’d been told in school was the place his ancestors came from.
Instead, Crawford’s results suggest that his ancestors came not by bridge, but by boat—as his closest genetic ancestors come from the Pacific Islands, not Siberia.
The current theory is that Crawford’s ancestors—some of the first people to set foot in the Americas—came by boat to South America. They would have then worked their way North over many generations of travel.
In fact, remains found in Peru contain DNA from the same haplogroup as Dusty Crawford—meaning that he can trace his lineage DIRECTLY back down to Peru—and back across the Pacific Ocean.
FROM FARMER TO FAMOUS
It’s an incredible story, one picked up by USA Today, The Daily Beast, and the Great Falls Tribune.
Dusty’s only wish? That he could have shared his results with his late brother. “He would have been really happy with the results,” said Dusty, when interviewed about his experience with CRI Genetics (2). See the Top 3 DNA Tests of 2020
WHERE ARE YOU FROM?
Like Dusty, for many of us, that question can be hard to answer.
We get a different answer from mom and dad, and far more when you begin tracing grandparents, great-grandparents, and great-greats. Pretty soon you’ve got 16, 32, 64 stories to keep track of…and no way of knowing how accurate each one is.
Ancestry records can certainly help part of the way. They’re great for recent history—spotting the moment your grandfather came over on Ellis Island, or looking up the marriage records of your great-grandparents from the Old Country. But these records mostly just confirm what you already knew…
SO WHERE ARE YOU REALLY FROM?
While Dusty’s story is incredible, it’s hardly unique: 26 Million Americans have already taken a DNA test, with that number expected to DOUBLE in 2020. While everyone has different reasons for taking one, some similarities appear.
The DNA market doubled in 2019–for the third year in a row.
The top benefits include:
- Finding Out WHO You Are and WHERE You’re From
- Discovering New Ancestors
- Verifying Family History
- Testing for Health, Allergies and Weight Loss
- Feeling Connected to Your Past—and Future.
OUR REVIEW
Genetics Digest has spent the last 4 years providing you with the top quality DNA tests in our award-winning reviews and news articles. Below, you’ll find our top 3 DNA tests this year.
The test Dusty took, CRI Genetics, has been the top-rated DNA test at Genetics Digest for 3 years in a row now. It’s easy to see why: the discoveries you can make with CRI are irresistible, and their test provides far more information than competitors. Not only that, but they are led by an award-winning, Harvard trained Geneticist, Dr. Alexei Fedorov, who proved a Nobel Prize-winning theory on genetic inheritance. Finally, they are 100% privately owned, meaning they don’t provide data to pharma companies or the government, like certain competitors.

Anomalous Native American Lineages Now Identified Also among Micmac Indians After posting “ANOMALOUS MITOCHONDRIAL DNA LINEAGES IN THE CHEROKEE,” and after being interviewed on the subject by an Internet radio show host, I was contacted by participants in the AMERINDIAN ANCESTRY OUT OF ACADIA PROJECT who were struck by similarities in results for the two groups.
