The First Americans • It is thought that most Native Americans are descendents from people that crossed over from Asia to America on a land bridge– the Bering Land bridge. • As the world's glaciers and ice sheets melted over the following millennia, rising sea level flooded the land bridge. This picture demonstrates the diminishing of the bridge over thousands of years Moore, Edward R & Texarch Assoc. , Texas Indians, http: //www. texasindians. com/
