Much has been written, literally for centuries, on the origins of Natives in the Americas and still there is no consensus on the date or even the embarkation point of the people who first populated this continent. In this collection of essays from Indian Country Today Media , Historian Alexander Ewen (Purepecha) explores not only the ever-controversial Bering Strait Theory, but more importantly, the other theories, research, evidence and science that have evolved along with it, allowing the reader to draw his or her own conclusions. No matter what your view of the Bering Strait Theory, this examination of the history of the theory is almost mandatory reading. Complete with illustrations, maps and charts to further illustrate the story, it will change minds, or, at the very least, stimulate still more heated debate of the theory that would not die.
