Migration Route of Native Americans Theory

The theory that makes sense to me when the subject of Native Americans coming into Washington is the Land Bridge theory. The Land Bridge theory states that 1,4000 years ago, the ocean water levels dropped at least three hundred feet below it's usual height. According to Dale A. Lambert, "the ocean level was several hundred feet lower than it was today." Also, according to Scott Elias, a paleobiologist, stated that about 14,000 years ago the water levels were also several hundred feet lower than they are and "formed a bridge of land between Alaska and Russia." http://arcticstudies.pbworks.com/f/1191183897/Beringia_land_bridge-noaagov.gif
