Where and why did Amerindians migrate?
The First Amerindian Natives are postulated to have come from Asia through the Bering land bridge between 30,000–12,000 years before the present (BP). These conclusions have been based on cultural, morphological and genetic similarities between American and Asian populations.
Why did the natives have to move?
Working on behalf of white settlers who wanted to grow cotton on the Indians’ land, the federal government forced them to leave their homelands and walk hundreds of miles to a specially designated “Indian territory” across the Mississippi River.
What did the Amerindians do?
Amerindian tribes were referred to as Kalipuna, Carinepogoto, Carine, Arauca. The Amerindians developed the canoe, the bow and arrow, and the ajoupa. Amerindian cuisine is enjoyed by many Trinidadians: Cassava bread and Farine; Warap; barbecued wild game; corn pastelles; coffee; cocoa; chadon beni.
How did the Amerindians travel on land?

How did early humans migrate to the Americas?
Early migrants are thought to have traveled to and from the ocean as well as inland for food prompting researchers to question how rapidly human migration in the Americas occurred. (Image credit: Tom Villehay, Vanderbilt University) The Americas were the last (well, second-to-last if you count Antarctica) continents to be inhabited by early humans.
How did people get to North America?
Archaeologists estimate that people entered North America by crossing over the Bering Strait, which back then was a wide swath of land, about 15,000 years ago. In other words, people got here by walking a very long distance.
Why do people move to the Americas?
Drought, flood, and temperature changes could certainly push people to move on. Climate change also affects the food supply, and anthropologists have assumed that people came to the Americas because they were following food on the hoof.
