- It is known that the first Indian settlers came via Alaska around 500 A.D
- and proceeded to make Oregon, California and Arizona their habitat. The
- Modocs and the Apaches belong to this category, I guess. There were other
- tribes which came from the south ( Mexico..) and made their homes in New
- Mexico and sorrounding places. The Pimas and the Pegasos may be in this
- category. The time of the southern migration must have been around the
- same time as the northern migration.
-
- Of interest and not much discussed is their flight ( or their walk ) to
- North America. Is it true that they might have started around in Africa
- and even travelled parts of Asia before landing in N.America.? I am
- interested in knowing their origin, the time and the travel.
-
- Any info is greatly appreciated.

- Thanx..!
