Journey of the First People Across Beringia and the Bering Land Bridge

The video, presented by Kaeleigh, explores the migration of the First People in the Americas. It discusses the Bering Land Bridge, a land mass that connected Asia and North America during the last ice age, allowing people to migrate by foot. The video explains the migration patterns through Canada, the U.S., Mexico, and into South America. It highlights anthropological and archaeological evidence, such as DNA studies and artifacts, supporting the migration theory. The video concludes with suggestions for further learning through online games and quizzes.
