"New Evidence Reveals a 17,000-Year-Old Coastal Route " Topic

….Into North America

"The first people to cross into North America from Eurasia did so by traveling through the Bering Strait, or so the theory goes. A new theory has emerged proposing a coastal route into the continent, but evidence has been lacking. A recent analysis of boulders, bedrock, and fossils in Alaska is now providing a clearer picture, pointing to the emergence of a coastal route some 17,000 years ago.

New research published today in Science Advances is offering some of the first geological evidence of an Alaskan coastal migration route that would have made it possible for humans to cross over from Eurasia into North America when the Ice Age was still going strong. Importantly, the paper also includes evidence of aquatic and terrestrial life in the region during the same time period, which means venturing humans would have had access to food. The University of Buffalo researchers aren't saying humans definitely traveled along this coastal route—they're just saying the conditions were set for human migration into North America starting around 17,000 years ago…."

And let's not forget the theory of smaller migrations (the Solutrean Hypothesis, for example) coming from Europe, following the pinnipeds at the edge of the ice back then.

Like everything else in life, a single answer often isn't enough. I believe that the human migration into the New World must have involved multiple attempts, from various sources (Asian, European, etc). Many of them didn't leave much of a mark, and others might never be known. So the Multiple Migration Theory might well be the right one, despite so much pressure to indulge the current* Native American orthodoxy.

I suspect that a thorough DNA check of ancient remains might yield a few surprises that some people aren't yet ready to consider.

*Some Native American supremacists even see the Asian connection as a highly offensive suggestion.

of course they deny it because it would undermine their whole we are rightful native instead of the more likely we were just the 1st invaders thought line

I would even game early South Americans vs Australian Aborigines:
