During this time the Beringia Land Bridge opens around 34000 BC and closes around 38000 BC. And reopens overtime. Possibly allowing acess to the Americas from Siberia. Basically archeologists believe the anchestors of the natives enter Alaska at this point. But eventually the waters rise again, and the land bridge is gone. Meaning everyone is stuck on their side of the bridge.

12,000 yrs. ago people traveled from Alaska to the lower forty-eight. This was acomplished by traveling through a narrow passage to the east of the Rocky Mountains. We beleive this is how the other Native American cultures emerged in America.

The anchestors of the Aleut orginate from an island known as
Aangula. Aangula island is aproximately 8400 years old, but the island was only occupied for about 1500 years. Evetually the Aleut's anchestors moved from the island to Nikolski bay 4000 years ago. -
At least 2000 years ago the Anchestoral Eskimos moved into Pt. Hope, a low coast wetland, with a swampy interior.
-
Within the last 1000 years the anchestoral nomads of the Athabascans settled down, and built villages, and larger houses. This development led to the Athabascan we know today. But before then the nomadic people lived in the Agoon area 1600 years ago.

Modern Eskimo Culture developed directly from the Thule people, who moved East around 900 AD. Some even reached Greenland by 1000 AD.

Northern Athabacan speakers can currently be found as far East as Hudson bay. As far North as Brooks range, and as South as Inteior British Columbia. Nowdays some Athabascan descendents live a modern life style. While others live like their anchestors did. But now a majority live a life, thats a mix of both. Even now, You can still find Athabascan villages.

Aleutin Nikolski still live on part of Midden in modern towns. We belive the specific people in this are are descendents of Chaluka and possibly the Anangula.
