The last giant of Beringia; the mystery of the Bering Land Bridge. The Tlingit, whose name means "people of the tidelands," migrated from Asia across the Bering Land Bridge thousands of years ago. Based on geological evidence and the discovery of human remains, many assumed that Homo sapiens sapiens arrived in America from Asia about 12,000 BP when the Bering land bridge was open in one of its periodical dry land phases. |
